I *love* the fact you just used what you had; a 50cc. It shows that you don't need money and an expensive bike or car to enjoy life. Thanks for sharing.
Hello from Canada. I spend 7 months a year on my 50cc Yamaha scooter,going anywhere and everywhere. So much fun. I still use a paper map to plan my trips and take all secondary roads. I enjoyed your trip and story. For all of you out there, get yourself a 50cc scooter and change your life. You won’t regret it. Be safe.
Hi! Thank you for your comments. I want to know how much was your distance daily? Your average speed? Foor how much km do you stopped to make the motor rest and cooler? and for how long time between 2 stops. Hope you understand my bad English. Thank you so much
I was afraid my 50cc scooter wouldn't be able to make it around my city. After watching this video, I have renewed confidence that my scooter can do anything. Thanks for the inspiration :) Cheers from Canada
While still living in the Philippines in the 1970s, I bought a tiny 50cc Honda Mini trail bike. I rode this bike for a few years not only around our congested city but even frequently rode it over rough roads to my favorite hideout about 25 kilometers away in a reservoir/dam. You can ride your scooter anywhere so prepare to explore the world. Good luck.
I love small Cylindre bikes roadtrips! It makes the world seems bigger and more fun to explore, and allows you to ride slow enough to take in all the sceneries. Inspiring video 👌Thanks for sharing.
I ride a Shadow 125. Friends with bigger bikes have commented that when they ride out with me they ride slower. One has a large adventure bike another a racing style Honda 750. They say that riding at between 30 to 50 mph allows them to see and smell the countryside and not arrive tired from concentrating on the road just in front of them. Besides, my bike is easier to handle on the narrow and winding country lanes where I live.
This is true. I have a big enduro and bought a 125cc scooter for the way to work and back. I made a trip with this scooter from Germany to Greece and it was fantastic.
have only been driving 50cc scooters for over 33,000 kilometers for 2 years! Don't own a car! my longest ride so far has only been 250 kilometers! respect and very cool what you did!
really enjoyed and appreciated your vlog... I found it extremely informative and very useful. I've held a full bike license since 1967 !!! a year ago I purchased a 500cc Yamaha, moving up from a 125 cc scooter. it was a mistake for me and I've now decided to go back to 125s or even a 110 cc . in the late 1950s my uncle and aunt went from London to Sydney on a Mobylette moped !!!! proof that there's nothing wrong with small engined vehicles.
Watching this in 2021, and I'm also looking to buy a 50cc scooter and enjoy some road trips myself. Your video really cemented this adventure for me. Thank you.
I am currently in Italy, in Reggio di Calabria. I want to go visit my sister in The Netherlands. And you just showed me the best way to do it. Truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your video. I am totally convinced you can make better road trips on a small bike than on a bigger one. I've made both and I was so destressed and relax on my 125cc. Sceneries, roads, you enjoy each part of it. You taste it. No highways. My personal challenge is taking very small luggage on board. I try the "Toothbrush/pants/socks" challenge. Kudos for having done it on a 50cc! Greetings. (Slovenia seems to be so beautiful!)
For tyre punctures..a spray can with fluid rubber...and a car puncture set...togeter less than 10 euro's. See UA-cam for how to do it. And buy saddlebags...can also be cheap...more room and a lower centre of gravity... Good luck with the next tour, from the Netherlands!
I am really enjoying your video. Love your accent. Your English is excellent. The slower you go the further you get. Russian saying. I ride long distances on my Yamaha BWS 50 scooter.
Really enjoyed your video 👍 its a great adventure on a 50cc . I planning to make a long trip with a 50cc too. I used to ride 125cc but i think a 50cc is more fun and if you drive slow , you see more 👍☺ Your country Slovenië looks very nice . Beautyfull nature there.. I made some long trips in the past and ride also a Sym before . I never had problems with it 👍
I was looking for videos of people who rode long distances with 50cc and it sucks that you had to delay getting your motorcycle license. My problem is the opposite: I have a motorcycle license but no money to get a bigger one, so 50cc will do. Best of luck and thanks for your video
Green with envy. When I was younger I used to long-distance bicycle tour here in the US. That beautiful scooter ensures, just like your bicycle, that you actually get to see the countryside. Thanks and best wishes from Texas!
I totally agree with your last point, these scooters really shine on smaller roads, the same roads that are usually stressful and frustrating to drive with a car
Great video and good to see a 50cc scooter rather than a 1000cc touring monster. Always carrying some tyre repair strings and a small bicycle pump just in case! I agree touring can be really pleasant on a 50cc scooter especially if you avoid main roads.
I've recently come back from a 750km ride on my Vespa LX50 2-Stroke to Zurich and back. Every year I do a 3-day-roadtrip on this little scooter. It's a comfortable distance to do 200-250kms a day on a fifty I own other and bigger bikes but I love travelling the slow way. It feels more relaxed, you have to slow down yourself and it is very fullfilling to me. The Vespa is absolutely sturdy, went it's 20.000km and it runs 70km/h (I removed the reduction-ring from the variomatic) so you can go a little faster if you need to... but normally I do travelling by 50km/h which ist much more relaxing. The scooter runs on less than 3l/100km which makes travelling a bargain too. :). Overheating has never been a problem. These Scooters were built to run in warm climate conditions. An advice from me: Don't let you push to the farest right side of the road. This is very risky, not only für picking up some glass as you mentioned, but also because this invites oncoming vehicles to overtake (as seen in your video) and it invites heavy-goods-vehicles to overtake from behind, pushing you to the edge. Even as you're going slow, you have a right to use the full extension of the road. Others may go faster ... when they can!! Keep on travelling this way and thanks for the video. :)
This was great! How right you were to just go with what you had. And the result is a stunning video, thank you. I hope to see more of your motorcycling, on this or larger bikes. Les in UK
I've done the same with my scooter. I mounted 2 bicycle panniers at the side of the scooter with a soft duffle bag on the rear rack. A trip from mid western Germany to Luxembourg, Belgium and Netherlands. It all started with a bicycle road trip to China which extended much longer than planned. Now I'm working again to save money for the next big trip. The important thing is to get out there and experience the world for yourself. Take this experience home and see the world with different eyes.
I also made a long ass Trip too on a 50cc Keeway scooter, from Würzburg in Germany to Breitenberg near the German/Austrian border and back, a distance of bout 800km both ways via Ingolstadt. Took me approximately 2 days, top speed was 45km/h and i ended up with a sore ass and severe back pain. Was a load of fun though
Thank you for sharing this video. It looks like you had a very fun journey and saw some wonderful sights along the way. Glad you made it safely. It really motivates me to do the same thing. I'll be in Italy next month and would love to visit small towns on a 50cc bike/scooter.
Thank you very much for the riding tips at the end of the video. Nice video documentary of your solo ride on a 50cc. Again, thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
EVERY journey begins with trepidation because you are going into the unknown. This is normal. Once you start this feeling goes away. Well done , now you have really done something . God bless.
thanks for sharing your motorcycling adventure, i also have a small bike and i ride it nearly everyday, not for work, just for fun. and thanks for the lessons that your shared.
Interested to see this. I’m a bicycle camper and would love to try a 50cc scooter trip. I’m aware they don’t keep up with traffic on fast roads, but I prefer the quieter country roads anyway. Thank you for showing it is possible 🤗
as soon as winter is over im buying a moped scooter whatever u call it i cant wait to git out and about wow true inspiration 50ccs more than enough from what i can see to have some fun
Wow that's a little scooter,I have full license so would go for something around 250cc size if I tried a tour on something small,great adventure you had,thanks for sharing
Congratulations Igor and I wish you more exiting trips and I hope you will share your new experiences with us :) By the way, you rule in that motorcycle gear :)
This is brilliant, and thank you for sharing it! I am planning a 50cc trip from Javea, Spain to Lake Como, Italy. I'll try to tag you when I make the video...
Awesome. I was at Javea Spain a couple of years ago, in a Coliving / Coworking center Sun&Co. Enjoy the ride, if you come around Slovenia let me know. Cheers
very good lesson. I am from India, kolkata. west bengal state.with love from india.myself also a motrcycle traveller. visitd almost many partsa of india with my 200cc bike ,enfield. and now travelling on my honda 100cc bike. now aged 71 yrs. so cannot travel too much. so i enjoy your videos.
Regardless of the bike size slower always make the experience better. In the Central US a 50cc would be possible but I settled on a 150cc Vespa. Sometimes I catch myself hitting that throttle too hard....fortunately a few bugs in the face remind me how fast I am going. A few years ago my wife and I made the pilgrimage to Sturgis. Our Harley Electriglide was great for blasting across SD at 90mph but once we got there I wished we had the Vespa for the rides up into the foothills. Since the HD has a trailer hitch on it I thought about trailering our two scoots out there. That would have been a sight.
Small 50cc scooters are fun to ride and your video was inspiring to see. Nice to see you dance too! :-) One of my dreams is to make a trip from Sweden to Italy on a scooter. But for a such long trip I would use a scooter with bigger engine than 50cc. I have a 50cc scooter, but I also own a Piaggio MP3 500 hpe (2019) which I would prefer to use on a longer trip. Even if it has a much bigger engine and has a top speed of about 150-160 km/h it is possible to drive much slower (like a 50cc) if you want to do that. You can use it like a 50cc, but you have the power uphill if you need it and you have the speed if you have to go fast for some kilometers on a highway or another big road with heavy traffic. The bigger scooter also have more space for your packing and yourself. With a small scooter like a 50cc, the trip becomes a little more adventurous, which of course can be just as important in this context. It should not be underestimated... :-) Good advice that it is important to take a look in the mirrors regularly - particularly with small 50cc scooters. Cars come up behind you very fast and can become an unpleasent surprise. I have experienced it several times on my 50cc. With my MP3 500 HPE, it becomes a much calmer, more comfortable and safer driving because the cars behind do not get up in the back as fast..and you do not have to drive near the roadside, which can be a risk factor in itself.
Vad är det för model 50cc du har? jag funderar på vilken scooter är bäst eftersom det är mycket höga backar där jag bor just nu. med ett svenskt B körkort får man endast köra dessa små mopeder
This was an amazing video!! I travel a lot by motorbike, here in New Zealand, but feeling very curious about traveling by Scooter, since they are very cheap here. You are absolutely right, everyone should do at least a bit of dancing, it is great exercise and great fun! if you come to NZ in the future, look me up, me and my friends will take you traveling by motorbike or scooter, in the South Island. There are also some incredibly beautiful bicycle rides! Thanks for the great advice, and beautiful footage of your trips.
I'm driving electric and you'll hear cars but when they are behind you it can still be very difficult to hear them. Older cars you'll easily hear but modern ones are so silent that the wind in the helmet will silence them. I usually use in-ear headphones driving my scooter always playing some new album on bandcamp. It's a real good time to experience new music. My trips are usually around 40~60 minutes. No rush, put on the cruise control and just glide away. And it's just so nice to glide away on curvy roads with some new music to listen to. My scooter is a NIU.
im hoping to get to benidorm in 2021 from ireland .. i will take the ferry from rosslare or dublin to santander 27 hour crossing then ride from santander to benidom ,, about 650 to 700miles ,, great video .. oh sorry i forgot to tell you i will be riding my vespa 300 gts to spain
Fantastic video. I've been riding a 500 cc bike all my life but currently enjoying my 155 cc Yamaha scooter more. Hope to ride the whole of my country in it. Greetings from India
Thanks a lot for this footage.!..What a nice part of Europe. With an outboardspeaker it's like (-: a film. Yes watch back in the mirrors is easy to say.
I own a burgman 200cc and often people makes me crazy,like u cant travel with that,its small,its scooter...bla bla. Very good video mate and u have proven the oposite,keep it up 👍🏼
Very nice really ❤️ well done . You past in my area also, cividale but I live on the border with kobarid Slovenia 🇸🇮. I too traveled a lot with my Piaggio zip 50. Nothing really is impossible just as you say don’t rush. For medical reasons also I’m planning to use a 50cc easy simple and if you keep it good will take you to the moon. My compliments ❤️😊🏔
Well done, I came across your account while wandering online Helpful tips and advice and proves if done sensibly, you can travel on small bikes in big journeys,
11:38 Hey, you've probably already learned this since you did this video, but just in case: motorcycle and scooter tires don't need to be removed and replaced to fix tubes like you do on bicycles, unless they're on vintage bikes from decades ago. They are tubeless models and you can quickly fix them on the road with a supercheap rubber-strip kit and a portable pump (in an emergency you can do it without the pump if you're quick with the tools).
Very nice video. Have to say very impressed you did this on a 50cc. I ride a Vespa 125 That's about to hit 38,000 miles. I think you would have enjoyed the ride more on a 125, I say this because I rode a 50cc to work for almost 8 years and found that cars are always very close behind. My 125 has a max speed of 65 mph and is very comfortable at 50 mph.
Hi, yes, 125cc would be much better, 50cc was dangerously slow at some points. My goal is getting the 150cc or something like that, hopefully this year. This I think will be enough for me.
Your scooter looks VERY much like my "Genuine" (brand name, Chicago based) "Buddy 50" model, made in Taiwan (bless them!!) by "PGO". I wouldn't be surprised that your ride isn't the same scooter with another model name on it. I bet that it has a "Minarelli" motor. I wouldn't buy a Chinese-made scooter, in fact many mechanics won't even touch them. Anyway, in Florida, one can ride a 50cc motor scooter that has been "derestricted", and my speedo indicates a top speed of 46 mph, though we all know that scooter speedos always indicate a higher speed than reality. One doesn't need a license or helmet (though I wear a helmet). One day I 'll clock via my cellphone's GPS to check the speed. I LOVE my scooter, which I use basically for local errands. My 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 KRT sport bike is my "show-off" bike, which is also very lightweight and nimble, but can't carry anything other than a tank bag unless I pay someone to put in luggage supports, and that's not going to happen because it'll ruin the aggressively handsome looks of my nearly telepathically controlled Ninja. Thanks for the vid, liked and subbed. Please work on your audio - perhaps use some soft furniture/carpet/drapes to soften your voice.
Thank you, no. I was thinking of taking one initially ... but the moto goes something like 200 km on 1 filling, which is more than enough, considering I was riding in populated areas.
Great video. Your English is excellent by the way. I am in the process of researching a scooter purchase and am not sure if I want a 50, 125 or maybe just a bike. Thanks for the nice video.
I *love* the fact you just used what you had; a 50cc. It shows that you don't need money and an expensive bike or car to enjoy life. Thanks for sharing.
True. Yes, the most important thing is just to go and do it.
Why would you think that in the first place? Tens of thousands of people ride bicycles around the world.. a 50cc is a luxury compared to that.
@@Mich-G a 125 is not bad for travelling, if its a 4 stroke even better since they're less stressed.
@@Mich-G its all about road safety
if its air cooled then might need to stop every 100km or something however stopping for a moment to rest seems like a good trade off
Hello from Canada. I spend 7 months a year on my 50cc Yamaha scooter,going anywhere and everywhere. So much fun. I still use a paper map to plan my trips and take all secondary roads. I enjoyed your trip and story. For all of you out there, get yourself a 50cc scooter and change your life. You won’t regret it. Be safe.
I have a SYM 2 stroke Evo x, i use it much locally here in Bergen Norway and save a lot of road auto pass taxes.
Hi! Thank you for your comments. I want to know how much was your distance daily? Your average speed? Foor how much km do you stopped to make the motor rest and cooler? and for how long time between 2 stops.
Hope you understand my bad English. Thank you so much

Thanks for the comment. I will probably purchase a 125 soon, those modern engines are very capable.
In times like these it's good to just get away from everything, see some good friends and enjoy life and it's wonders on a motorbike!
Riding a small scooter is wonderful. You see a lot more details around you than doing 60mph
Also riding on two wheels is great therapy. Nice video
Watching this in 2021, and I'm also looking to buy a 50cc scooter and enjoy some road trips myself. Your video really cemented this adventure for me. Thank you.
Wishing you a safe and pleasant trip.
You got your adventure in 2023?😅
I am currently in Italy, in Reggio di Calabria. I want to go visit my sister in The Netherlands. And you just showed me the best way to do it. Truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

You can use it like a 50cc, but you have the power uphill if you need it and you have the speed if you have to go fast for some kilometers on a highway or another big road with heavy traffic. The bigger scooter also have more space for your packing and yourself. With a small scooter like a 50cc, the trip becomes a little more adventurous, which of course can be just as important in this context. It should not be underestimated... :-) Good advice that it is important to take a look in the mirrors regularly - particularly with small 50cc scooters. Cars come up behind you very fast and can become an unpleasent surprise. I have experienced it several times on my 50cc. With my MP3 500 HPE, it becomes a much calmer, more comfortable and safer driving because the cars behind do not get up in the back as fast..and you do not have to drive near the roadside, which can be a risk factor in itself.
How about from Norway to Istanbul, with 50cc? 😄
Vad är det för model 50cc du har? jag funderar på vilken scooter är bäst eftersom det är mycket höga backar där jag bor just nu. med ett svenskt B körkort får man endast köra dessa små mopeder
This was an amazing video!! I travel a lot by motorbike, here in New Zealand, but feeling very curious about traveling by Scooter, since they are very cheap here. You are absolutely right, everyone should do at least a bit of dancing, it is great exercise and great fun! if you come to NZ in the future, look me up, me and my friends will take you traveling by motorbike or scooter, in the South Island. There are also some incredibly beautiful bicycle rides! Thanks for the great advice, and beautiful footage of your trips.
Thank you sir! Wishing you happy and safe rides in the future.
I enjoyed your video very much! I liked it! Thanks from Japan🇯🇵
you have inspired me and I always mention your experience in my videos
@@netyour great, thank you, God bless
I'm driving electric and you'll hear cars but when they are behind you it can still be very difficult to hear them.
Older cars you'll easily hear but modern ones are so silent that the wind in the helmet will silence them.
I usually use in-ear headphones driving my scooter always playing some new album on bandcamp.
It's a real good time to experience new music. My trips are usually around 40~60 minutes. No rush, put on the cruise control and just glide away.
And it's just so nice to glide away on curvy roads with some new music to listen to. My scooter is a NIU.
im hoping to get to benidorm in 2021 from ireland .. i will take the ferry from rosslare or dublin to santander 27 hour crossing then ride from santander to benidom ,, about 650 to 700miles ,, great video .. oh sorry i forgot to tell you i will be riding my vespa 300 gts to spain
The song at 8:53 is Get A Job by the Silhouettes 1957. Great video thanks for sharing!
Wonderful video!
So good to see a 50cc scooter going on long trips.
Stay safe
God bless you from Missouri USA “ I love this
Thanks, God bless you too brother.
You did so good on the moped and traveled so far... I loved the scenery.. Thank You for the video.. From New Jersey..
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
the trip was great. the motorbike is so cute. me everything in your video...
Just love what you are doing with what you have....I got motivation now from your video to start my journey on my 80cc scooter
That was excellent. Really enjoyed your video. Cheers
Fantastic video. I've been riding a 500 cc bike all my life but currently enjoying my 155 cc Yamaha scooter more. Hope to ride the whole of my country in it. Greetings from India
Thank you. I have a 150cc now too, I enjoy it very much. Cheers from Slovenia!
Excellent! Thank you for sharing this lovely, honest experience. God bless your heart...
Thanks a lot for this footage.!..What a nice part of Europe. With an outboardspeaker it's like (-: a film. Yes watch back in the mirrors is easy to say.
I've recently brought a 50cc for the same reason! Legend 🤘💪❤
Nice. What are your plans?
Very interesting movie and trip
Great video man! Keep on scooting!🤘🏽🔥🔥🔥
Respect from Australia mate
I own a burgman 200cc and often people makes me crazy,like u cant travel with that,its small,its scooter...bla bla.
Very good video mate and u have proven the oposite,keep it up 👍🏼
Greetings from the UK. This looks like a great trip in a gorgeous part of the world. Hope you have many more like it.
Very nice really ❤️ well done . You past in my area also, cividale but I live on the border with kobarid Slovenia 🇸🇮. I too traveled a lot with my Piaggio zip 50. Nothing really is impossible just as you say don’t rush. For medical reasons also I’m planning to use a 50cc easy simple and if you keep it good will take you to the moon. My compliments ❤️😊🏔
I enjoyed the video, i just buyed a 50 cc Vespa and i cant wait for the long trips with minimal fishing gear
Brilliant video, well done!
Very nice! Good for you overcoming your fears and doing it!
Thank you. Yes, interesting experience, something I will not forget. Travel can help us grow as a person, expanding own limits.
Very nice vlog loved the fact it was a small bike it inspired me to have a go myself
This looks like such a cool trip. I'd like to do something similar someday.
Well done, I came across your account while wandering online Helpful tips and advice and proves if done sensibly, you can travel on small bikes in big journeys,
Yes, it is totally possible and OK. This time I treated my trip more as a "bike" trip, not so much a motor bike trip, because of weaker engine.
Wery good traveling and gives a lesson to safety.
Nice video experience.. thanx for sharing 👍
Sjajan video! Prelepo putovanje! Hvala!
11:38 Hey, you've probably already learned this since you did this video, but just in case: motorcycle and scooter tires don't need to be removed and replaced to fix tubes like you do on bicycles, unless they're on vintage bikes from decades ago. They are tubeless models and you can quickly fix them on the road with a supercheap rubber-strip kit and a portable pump (in an emergency you can do it without the pump if you're quick with the tools).
Congratulations. Thank you for a very good trip.
I like your experience sharing how to keep the safety. 👍
Great trip & a lot of common sense !!
Awesome trip and a great adventure... Thanks for sharing that ,really enjoyed! 😎
Very nice video. Have to say very impressed you did this on a 50cc. I ride a Vespa 125 That's about to hit 38,000 miles. I think you would have enjoyed the ride more on a 125, I say this because I rode a 50cc to work for almost 8 years and found that cars are always very close behind.
My 125 has a max speed of 65 mph and is very comfortable at 50 mph.
Hi, yes, 125cc would be much better, 50cc was dangerously slow at some points. My goal is getting the 150cc or something like that, hopefully this year. This I think will be enough for me.
Very nice. Hi from Tivoli, Italy.
I hope to return in Lubiana, expecially the castle is beautyfoul.
Your scooter looks VERY much like my "Genuine" (brand name, Chicago based) "Buddy 50" model, made in Taiwan (bless them!!) by "PGO".
I wouldn't be surprised that your ride isn't the same scooter with another model name on it. I bet that it has a "Minarelli" motor.
I wouldn't buy a Chinese-made scooter, in fact many mechanics won't even touch them.
Anyway, in Florida, one can ride a 50cc motor scooter that has been "derestricted", and my speedo indicates a top speed of 46 mph, though we all know that scooter speedos always indicate a higher speed than reality. One doesn't need a license or helmet (though I wear a helmet). One day I 'll clock via my cellphone's GPS to check the speed.
I LOVE my scooter, which I use basically for local errands.
My 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 KRT sport bike is my "show-off" bike, which is also very lightweight and nimble, but can't carry anything other than a tank bag unless I pay someone to put in luggage supports, and that's not going to happen because it'll ruin the aggressively handsome looks of my nearly telepathically controlled Ninja.
Thanks for the vid, liked and subbed.
Please work on your audio - perhaps use some soft furniture/carpet/drapes to soften your voice.
BTW - my 2018 "Buddy" has a USB charger, so I don't need solar power.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion.
Great trip, you inspire me to plan an overlanding trip Vietnam to Europe.. Keep it up Mr. Donkov.. Cheers from Vietnam
Great video and nicely edited with lots of interesting scenes 👍
NICE experience thanks for sharing i just asking did you need an extra tank fuel in this trip?
Thank you, no. I was thinking of taking one initially ... but the moto goes something like 200 km on 1 filling, which is more than enough, considering I was riding in populated areas.
That was very enjoyable . Thank you.
Brilliant trip mate !
woop woop!
What a great video of a very interesting journey. Very well done.
Fabulous! Thank you very much .
Great video. Your English is excellent by the way. I am in the process of researching a scooter purchase and am not sure if I want a 50, 125 or maybe just a bike. Thanks for the nice video.
