Scooters will never be as sexy as motorcycles, but the reality is they originate from the desire of taking the motorized 2 wheel vehicle concept and redesigning it as efficiently as possible and not being limited by the classic "bicycle with and engine in the middle" design. That's why they are so efficient and comfortable because the basic design was started from a clean sheet of paper and it was done by aeronautical engineer Corradino D'Ascanio under contract for Piaggio. Corradino D'Ascanio is well known for hating motorcycles at the time for being bulky, dirty, and unreliable and the scooter design was him fixing all the "problems" with motorcycles. The man was a genius of his time, the scooter was kind of a side project he was a pioneer in designing helicopters. And that's why a scooter is so efficient, easy to ride, easy to maintain and many people after they get their first maxi scooter even after having ridden bikes for many years don't see a point in going back to traditional motorcycles.
HI Alex, well done, a huge trip. I got my Zontes 350e yesterday and waiting for my licenseplate. Probably I am the first with a 350e in NL. I can't wait to go touring.
Ik wou ook dezelfde bestellen, maar kon lang duren voor levering hier in België. Heb mij nu een Peugeot XP400GT aangeschaft. Ook een pracht van een scooter.

Sandule, felicitări! Ai intrat într-o lume nouă, cea a celor pe care-i numești ”proper journalists”. Poate fi un pas mare pentru viitorul tău. Talent și stofă de jurnalist moto, ai cu carul, iar stilul tău direct, fără ocolișuri și ”cimilituri” pe care le vedem la jurnaliștii plătiți să facă reclamă. te deosebește de ei. Jurnalismul ”amatoricesc”, pe care îl faci tu, este exact ceea ce oamenii vor să vadă și să audă.

Incerc sa analizez doar produsul in contextul pietei pentru ca conteaza si pretul nu doar sa fie un produs bun si expun ce cred eu ca sunt pozitive si negative si cum as folosi eu respectivul produs.
Well done my friend! I was waiting for this video to witness how Fred covered 1250km in one day. Honestly can't wait to go on a longer trip with Verdi, my own 350e 🙂so far so good, taking care until first inspection, after that probably put a gear on and hit the open road!
Hey Alex. Since you like the valley, you should consider doing a tour on a bike in Montenegro. Probably the most scenic and diverse country in Balkans. Love your videos and if you to consider Montenegro in the future, I’m here for the tips. I’m waiting for my Zontes 368G atm. All the best.
A trip around the Balkans is in plan at some point, maybe this year in early autumn if I can get time of work. For now my main focus is the Cannonball.
Watched the full video even if im motorcycle guy. You are interesting to listen. Great video. The skiped airplane ticket was not by accident, its your trip calling you, and content that you make for us. Thank you.
That's a really long trip .. considering you were riding a 350cc .. cheers mate .. happy you made it to ATHENS .. the longest trip I made was around~600 km that i covered in one day on my CRUISYM 300
Alex, you are a true source of inspiration with your long scooter trips! I recently traveled 564 km in one day with my Cruisym a, in part thanks to your example.
well done,i got the 350 e in grey for a year and i enjoing every minutes ,its a special scooter but yes if you go 150 it need a lot of gas,maybe more than 5l,i hope you enjoy your stay in athens
Athens was great. The highest fuel consumption I saw on a single stint was 5.56l / 100 km but average for the entire trip is a bit less then 5. Plus total average for mine in the last 9400km is 4.46L / 100km
Morning Alex. About 2 hours from i write this (12:49) i have an appointment with the Peugeot / Sym dealer in the north of the Netherlands to finalize the deal on a brand new Sym ADX 125i.
@@RideWithAlex The scooter is ordered with some extra's. The black one. According do pictures it look like a gloss black, others say it is matt black. Have you seen the black one in real? If yes is it gloss or matt?
Bought mine E350 as a dealer test drive vehicle for 4500e! Passed only 5300km plus I have free maintenance on 6000km! Now I have my own Fred with best possible deal! 😎🍻
Hello there Alex! Fantastic travel video, I really enjoyed it, thx!😊 There were "signs" of a big touring video coming. Now all those signs makes sense.😂 Through the journey you answered nearly all my questions (what you have eaten etc.). How was the oil consumption? And how did it feel to ride Fred after the TG400? Btw. The DJI4 was great. The picture is more 'in speed' than the GoPro. Sound was ok. Be bad.😊
The TG400 is awesome, you can do touring on it and off-road it's just better then any scooter I have ever tested. But for this highway high speed cruising the 350E just punches so far above it's class. For a 350 to maintain 140-145 cruising speed and also have so much wind protection is amazing. I think for the money it's the best highway touring scooter/motorcycle (yes I'm including brand new motorcycles) that you can buy.
Alex.. The same giant pot hole just on the entrance on the Sofia's ring road.. Is there for at least 4-5 years .. I nailed it with my Yamaha Majesty 400 years ago.. Still it's not fixed!
@@RideWithAlex most reviews are 15 minutes and they dont cover de distance like you do. Covering 400 or 500 km gives you a perspective of how the scooter behaves and if it is reliable on the road etc. You take those scooters on monstertours so I was wondering if you can make a vlog of a roadtrip with the 2 I mentioned. Btw I really like your vlogs. I am planning to buy a scooter too. Kymco exciting 400 or the AK550. I am not sure yet.
@@vinjofin1972 first I have to find someone willing to give me a scooter like that to put 1000km on it and then find the time to actually do the trip :))
This is a great scooter but unfortunately I can't buy it because it's not available in Australia so my choice is still the Sym HD300. What Carpuride display model do you use?
da. am patit si eu cu masina sa ratez intrarea la omv de la iesirea din bulgaria. intrarea e comuna cu lukoil :) din filmarea ta pare ca drumul nu e asa rau pana la autostrada din bulgaria dar in realitate e destul de rau... chiar si parcurs cu masina..
Really begin to like this Zontes tbh... is it worth spending 4k more to get a AK Premium to get a cruise control when this 350 can ride this well ? (but CC is really top notch when you ride in a country full of speed radars...)
Hello Alex, Nice vidéo as usual, i couldn’t stop once it started. I have currently a cruisym 300 that works perfectly for what i need. does it worth it if i upgrade to a 350E? Thx
I use it as a commuter to do 36 km twice a day, winter and summer, in a 90 km average speed. My concerns are, reliability confort, stability and whether protection. I have purchased the cruisym following your advices and haven’t been deceived so far 😁. The cruisym is 16000 km so far.

It's spritmonitor.de you can find it in the play store. Also they have a website so you can check all the history of my Fred: www.spritmonitor.de/en/detail/1525264.html
Nice trip. Do you have a lav mic or just dji mic when riding? Get some riding pants man, safety first. Also with this fuel consumption you are cheaper with a diesel car 😂. If you average under 100km/h just get a 125 cc. At least you got to filter the traffic, thats better on 2 wheels 😂.
I had the DJI Mic 2 in my helmet. Fuel consumption is kind of normal for a motorcycle and the speed I was doing. Checked with other people with 500cc motorcycles and running that speed they get around the same fuel economy.
Nu exista indiferent de model, dețin și SYM și Zontes, symphony ST 200 pt scuter mic de oraș cu care pot face și drumuri lungi când nu ma grăbesc, zontes 350E balenă mare de touring rapid când am nevoie sa parcurg distante foarte lungi foarte repede în confort. Depinde ce anume vrei de la scuterul tău și vezi ce producător are un model care sa de servească cât mai multe din cerințele tale.
@@bobitamomita7317 ca și fiabilitate zontes e prea tânăr sa zic dacă e mai bun sau mai slab ca Sym. Eu nu am o loialitate fata de un brand anume de aceea momentan în "flota" am un BMW, un Sym, un Zontes. Fiecare vehicul pentru un anume scop. Ca și istoric SYM are mai multa istorie și experienta decât zontes deci alegerea mai înțeleaptă sa zic asa ar fi Sym. Zontes sunt tineri dar la fel de tineri erau și tesla acu niște ani. Zontes vine cu multe chestii la preturi mici și accesibile sunt de urmărit și de aceea cel puțin cu 350E-ul m-au impresionat atât de mult de le-am dat un vot de încredere prin achiziționarea unui exemplar și sa îl testez aici pe canal. Momentan în 9400km nu am avut nici o problema cu el. Dacă apare ceva voi raporta pe canal cum fac cu toate vehiculele mele :)
How do you last so long on two wheels? Personally, after 4 hours I can no longer bear the sound of the wind (I use sponge earplugs). How do you manage to reduce the sound of the wind? How do you keep yourself entertained on the road?
What wind noise, with the windscreen up I can ride at top speed with the vizor of my helmet open, there's 0 wind noise. Entertained well I do these math games in my head with what averege speed where do I refuel when will I arrive etc plus look at the sceenary plus talk to the camera :)
I see. Thanks for the answer. I'm also looking to start motovlogging and you and Marius from Bucharest bike traffic are my source of motivation and inspiration. Keep doing what you're doing, you're great! I was curious about one more thing, where and how do you attach the dji mic?
@@RealistKiD i mounted the magnet that comes with my dji mic inside the helmet and it's permanently there. So whenever I want to put the mic in the helmet it just attaches there to the magnet.
@@elmourjaniaziz5100 you can do it with the ST200. I traveled very long distances with the ST200. I just said I don't know of any Sym husky 200, what engine does it have or if it's better then the ST200.
it tops out at about 155-160 and I maintained around 135-145. After a full 2500 round trip, checked the oil it's still on full. So it did the entire trip at almost full speed without the oil level going down even a little bit.
What type of oil do you use? Alex 5w 40 or 10w40 or 15w50.Please answer me soon.I am intrested to buy this scooter.because I think it is big trip machine.
Alex I want to buy also SYM ADX 125.Do you think is worth it to put aside SYM Jet X 200.And can it handle higher speede like 100 kmh at 7000 rpms better than my 200cc.
The ADX125 is better for touring then the 200. I tested it on my road trip to Thessaloniki a month ago and it's much better setup for long distance touring.
@@RideWithAlex Crazy just to think what big transmission and better can do.Definetly worth it. My Jet X just struggles past 90 kmh,but is good below. SYM really needs to update also bigger cc transmission.
How can I have an opinion if I haven't seen it in real life? :( All I saw was the prototype 501G at EICMA last year. From pictures and videos it looks cool but I have to ride it and test it to have an opinion on it.
a local shop who used to carry the 350e told me to not expect it before well into 2025. otherwise it's the same bike slightly more powerful and slightly lighter!
I already have a video of the ADV350 on the channel and the X-ADV 750: th-cam.com/video/txJaVJEBH3Y/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/g28CJSLyaks/w-d-xo.html
Am diseara la ce casca gura🎉. M-am tot gandit sa-l cumpar pana la urma am ales kymco downtown gt 350. Nu mi s-a parut fairplay diferenta de pret fata de alte tari. Oricum nu eram eu miezul 🤣. Cu un scuter vandut in plus nu se facea primavara. In fine, sunt curios dupa 10k km cum o sa fie. Succes!
Momentan are 9300 si nu am in plan sa ii fac altceva la 10.000 decat un schimb de ulei si filtre de aer. Zontes mai spune sa deschid capacul de la transmisie si sa o curat fara sa schimb nimic. Daca am timp ii fac si asta daca nu o fac la 20.000 la schimbul de curea.
Alex I'm pretty sure you're the only one I ever saw putting a mono cylinder scooter on this kind of road trip full speed ahead 😂 Fred handled that pretty well looks like, that's another good point that goes to Zontes! Would be even better if their trail on this 350 platform was better made, I would have buy one for my A2 license x)
I am not sure that the petrol indicator is correct! In my case when i get the indicator flashing red, i go to the petrol station and fill it with 12 lt ! So according to specs i should have 4 more lt in the tank, and as i trust the tank , i believe that the indicator is unreliable
@@RideWithAlex Alex , me too, i always spend some extra minutes to fill it up and it gets 12 lt , no more so from flashing red to absolutelly full i get only 12 lt.
"Whoa, whoa whoa... BUMPS!!" *THUMP THUMP* "Goddaaaamnit!!" Hahaha As another scooter rider, I know all too well the horror of seeing them coming at the last minute, when there's nothing one can do about it, but pray.
This is how the roads are maintained in BG.... And after that they said to the ppl to buy brand new cars xaxaxa for this f up roads! Alex , do you expect the new zt501-h to be more fuel efficient at this km/h? After 10 years brutal crashes at this point , they put this non-overtaken zone... for good.
Here's all I know from inside sources about their new models and this applies to the EU market only. Remember the zontes.com website is specific for the Chinese market and it doesn't reflect the reality in the EU. The 368 models currently are not homologated for sale in the EU. They can be homologated but importers are waiting for zontes to finalize the design because they are still tweaking the models. Hopefully spring/summer 2025 they will start to hit showrooms. I see Zontes Spain has the 368G on their website but I don't know if it's pre-order or they have stock but currently in eastern Europe they haven't started importing them. And the 500cc models all I know is that project is currently on hold. We will see in a month at EICMA.
I think here parents were also in the parking lot somewhere and she was staring at me with my gear and helmet on talking to myself but yeah, it looks like something from a horror movie 😂😂😂😂
The best Zontes commercial
"Proper journalists" you have 13000 prospective clients from the areas where the TG scooter is way more relevant beyond big magazines that peddles super bikes and adventure motorcycles as their main client group. If I was sym I would make sure you were on the VIP list at the next launch.

Thank you, hopefully in the future for the scooter segment I will start getting more recognition and other brands will want to work with me :D
Scooters will never be as sexy as motorcycles, but the reality is they originate from the desire of taking the motorized 2 wheel vehicle concept and redesigning it as efficiently as possible and not being limited by the classic "bicycle with and engine in the middle" design. That's why they are so efficient and comfortable because the basic design was started from a clean sheet of paper and it was done by aeronautical engineer Corradino D'Ascanio under contract for Piaggio. Corradino D'Ascanio is well known for hating motorcycles at the time for being bulky, dirty, and unreliable and the scooter design was him fixing all the "problems" with motorcycles. The man was a genius of his time, the scooter was kind of a side project he was a pioneer in designing helicopters. And that's why a scooter is so efficient, easy to ride, easy to maintain and many people after they get their first maxi scooter even after having ridden bikes for many years don't see a point in going back to traditional motorcycles.

Very happy with it and I had no problems at the end of the trip. Nothing hurt.
Hi great job first of all
I wanna ask how comfortable and easy its for a 300 scoter lets say like sym 300 the new one for such distances?
It's easy a cruisym can do this distance just as easy. Might take 1 hour longer for the entire trip but it can do it no problem.
I am thinking seriously, about to get a Zontes probably wait for the 386

hey Alex,can i ask you the name of the app that you use for fuel consumpiton? thank you.
It's spritmonitor.de you can find it in the play store.
Also they have a website so you can check all the history of my Fred: www.spritmonitor.de/en/detail/1525264.html
Nice trip. Do you have a lav mic or just dji mic when riding? Get some riding pants man, safety first. Also with this fuel consumption you are cheaper with a diesel car 😂. If you average under 100km/h just get a 125 cc. At least you got to filter the traffic, thats better on 2 wheels 😂.
I had the DJI Mic 2 in my helmet. Fuel consumption is kind of normal for a motorcycle and the speed I was doing. Checked with other people with 500cc motorcycles and running that speed they get around the same fuel economy.
1:06:48 a ghost!! 👀👻
You have to be polite even to ghosts 🥰

Et celui que tu as acheté le 350E ?
Hi Alex did the zontes 350E burn oil after all ?
Not at all, I checked a couple of times but it was still on full.
Cu ce aplicatie iti verifici consumul scuterului?
Spritmonitor.de o găsești pe play store
E misto sa te urmăresc. Ce ai alege intre un sym si zontes, indiferent de model?
Nu exista indiferent de model, dețin și SYM și Zontes, symphony ST 200 pt scuter mic de oraș cu care pot face și drumuri lungi când nu ma grăbesc, zontes 350E balenă mare de touring rapid când am nevoie sa parcurg distante foarte lungi foarte repede în confort. Depinde ce anume vrei de la scuterul tău și vezi ce producător are un model care sa de servească cât mai multe din cerințele tale.
@@RideWithAlex zic ce ai alege intre cele 2 branduri daca ar fi sa iti cumperi unul de 300/400/500 cc. Merci de răspuns
@@bobitamomita7317 ca și fiabilitate zontes e prea tânăr sa zic dacă e mai bun sau mai slab ca Sym. Eu nu am o loialitate fata de un brand anume de aceea momentan în "flota" am un BMW, un Sym, un Zontes. Fiecare vehicul pentru un anume scop. Ca și istoric SYM are mai multa istorie și experienta decât zontes deci alegerea mai înțeleaptă sa zic asa ar fi Sym. Zontes sunt tineri dar la fel de tineri erau și tesla acu niște ani. Zontes vine cu multe chestii la preturi mici și accesibile sunt de urmărit și de aceea cel puțin cu 350E-ul m-au impresionat atât de mult de le-am dat un vot de încredere prin achiziționarea unui exemplar și sa îl testez aici pe canal. Momentan în 9400km nu am avut nici o problema cu el. Dacă apare ceva voi raporta pe canal cum fac cu toate vehiculele mele :)
How do you last so long on two wheels? Personally, after 4 hours I can no longer bear the sound of the wind (I use sponge earplugs). How do you manage to reduce the sound of the wind? How do you keep yourself entertained on the road?
What wind noise, with the windscreen up I can ride at top speed with the vizor of my helmet open, there's 0 wind noise. Entertained well I do these math games in my head with what averege speed where do I refuel when will I arrive etc plus look at the sceenary plus talk to the camera :)
I see. Thanks for the answer. I'm also looking to start motovlogging and you and Marius from Bucharest bike traffic are my source of motivation and inspiration. Keep doing what you're doing, you're great! I was curious about one more thing, where and how do you attach the dji mic?
@@RealistKiD i mounted the magnet that comes with my dji mic inside the helmet and it's permanently there. So whenever I want to put the mic in the helmet it just attaches there to the magnet.
Great😂🎉
Do you recommend the symphony 200cc or the Husky 200cc? For urban use, noting that I travel once a week. Thank you
I don't know the husky 200 it not available here.
So do you recommend the symphony 200cc For urban use, noting that I travel once a week. ??
@@elmourjaniaziz5100 you can do it with the ST200. I traveled very long distances with the ST200. I just said I don't know of any Sym husky 200, what engine does it have or if it's better then the ST200.
@@RideWithAlex thank you bro, 😊
How was maintaing 120km/h on the motorway. Is that something that the bike can do comfortably? What is the top speed?
it tops out at about 155-160 and I maintained around 135-145. After a full 2500 round trip, checked the oil it's still on full. So it did the entire trip at almost full speed without the oil level going down even a little bit.
What type of oil do you use? Alex 5w 40 or 10w40 or 15w50.Please answer me soon.I am intrested to buy this scooter.because I think it is big trip machine.
Curently it has în it Repsol Smarter 10w40 Full synthetic.
@@RideWithAlex thank you Alex!!!!!!!
Kulata means The Tower
Alex I want to buy also SYM ADX 125.Do you think is worth it to put aside SYM Jet X 200.And can it handle higher speede like 100 kmh at 7000 rpms better than my 200cc.
The ADX125 is better for touring then the 200. I tested it on my road trip to Thessaloniki a month ago and it's much better setup for long distance touring.
@@RideWithAlex Crazy just to think what big transmission and better can do.Definetly worth it.
My Jet X just struggles past 90 kmh,but is good below.
SYM really needs to update also bigger cc transmission.
Alex, im interested about zontes 368g... What is your opinion about that machine...
How can I have an opinion if I haven't seen it in real life? :( All I saw was the prototype 501G at EICMA last year. From pictures and videos it looks cool but I have to ride it and test it to have an opinion on it.
a local shop who used to carry the 350e told me to not expect it before well into 2025. otherwise it's the same bike slightly more powerful and slightly lighter!
Awesome Alex!, When Honda ADV350?
I already have a video of the ADV350 on the channel and the X-ADV 750:

@@RideWithAlex Wooot i haven't noticed!, watching right away! thanks bud!
@@RideWithAlex Thanks buddy !
@@qAK47p the ending to the adv350 is totally unscripted 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@RideWithAlex Dude that was an awesome review! thanks for sharing!
Am diseara la ce casca gura🎉. M-am tot gandit sa-l cumpar pana la urma am ales kymco downtown gt 350. Nu mi s-a parut fairplay diferenta de pret fata de alte tari. Oricum nu eram eu miezul 🤣. Cu un scuter vandut in plus nu se facea primavara. In fine, sunt curios dupa 10k km cum o sa fie. Succes!
Momentan are 9300 si nu am in plan sa ii fac altceva la 10.000 decat un schimb de ulei si filtre de aer. Zontes mai spune sa deschid capacul de la transmisie si sa o curat fara sa schimb nimic. Daca am timp ii fac si asta daca nu o fac la 20.000 la schimbul de curea.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Alex I'm pretty sure you're the only one I ever saw putting a mono cylinder scooter on this kind of road trip full speed ahead 😂
Fred handled that pretty well looks like, that's another good point that goes to Zontes!
Would be even better if their trail on this 350 platform was better made, I would have buy one for my A2 license x)
Salut Alex! Pe ce mod de conducere folosesti scuterul , ECO sau SPORT ? O zi frumoasa!
Exclusiv pe sport, nu îl dau niciodată pe eco.
I am not sure that the petrol indicator is correct! In my case when i get the indicator flashing red, i go to the petrol station and fill it with 12 lt ! So according to specs i should have 4 more lt in the tank, and as i trust the tank , i believe that the indicator is unreliable
I usually spend 2-3 minutes to fill it to the very top. When the pump stops I can still put slowly another 2L in.
@@RideWithAlex Alex , me too, i always spend some extra minutes to fill it up and it gets 12 lt , no more so from flashing red to absolutelly full i get only 12 lt.
"Whoa, whoa whoa... BUMPS!!"
*THUMP THUMP*
"Goddaaaamnit!!"
Hahaha As another scooter rider, I know all too well the horror of seeing them coming at the last minute, when there's nothing one can do about it, but pray.
Yea those hurt the spine and the wallet :(
Michelin city grip m+s or Anlas Wintergrip for this period of the year
Michelins are going to go on him
This is how the roads are maintained in BG.... And after that they said to the ppl to buy brand new cars xaxaxa for this f up roads!
Alex , do you expect the new zt501-h to be more fuel efficient at this km/h? After 10 years brutal crashes at this point , they put this non-overtaken zone... for good.
@theblazzed2114 501 is not coming, the 368 series came instead, and they are holding em off while selling the 350 stock
@@Xoxox-q5eOkay , good information to know it. Thank you.
Here's all I know from inside sources about their new models and this applies to the EU market only. Remember the zontes.com website is specific for the Chinese market and it doesn't reflect the reality in the EU. The 368 models currently are not homologated for sale in the EU. They can be homologated but importers are waiting for zontes to finalize the design because they are still tweaking the models. Hopefully spring/summer 2025 they will start to hit showrooms. I see Zontes Spain has the 368G on their website but I don't know if it's pre-order or they have stock but currently in eastern Europe they haven't started importing them. And the 500cc models all I know is that project is currently on hold. We will see in a month at EICMA.
@@RideWithAlex great info Alex thanks buddy.
👌👌❤❤🍻🍻
Who was that little kid 😅 like a horror movie
I think here parents were also in the parking lot somewhere and she was staring at me with my gear and helmet on talking to myself but yeah, it looks like something from a horror movie 😂😂😂😂
Maybe I watch too many horror movies but 1:06:49 made me jump scare
Tbh I remember I also saw the parents a little further back but on video it looks scarry I saw when I edited 😂
