I just passed my motorcycle safety course, and got my scooter assembled. I’m really looking forward to riding it! They’re so good on gas and insurance is super cheap!
I have Aprilia sportscity 50, it goes almost 80 km on a long downhill road, but generally it stays between 40-60 km. There's something about 50cc that's fun, if you can learn to deal with the embarrassment of slowing down traffic behind you on a single road.
Scooters are so simple and easy to use. And not so tall and heavy, as the most motorbikes. Good for riding in the city. Thanks for the video. Its funny to see scooter driving on the road.
50 cc can go pretty fast but yours is a european one and they usually are tuned down so they are legal. You can remove the vario ring which makes it a lot faster.
For around town I love my scooter. You have to be honest about what it's for though, slower roads the better. I have a Yamaha 50F BWS (Zuma is what it's called in the USA). I'm a pretty big guy, weigh around 210 pounds, I can reliably get 60kph on the flat streets, but up hill 45kph is about average. Down hill I can pretty easily hit 70kph+. A smaller guy would probably see the more gains in the up hill speeds and easily hit 50kph. For my cities roads, the scooter is great. Any roads that might be too fast for it have back roads that are more fun to drive anyways.
Yea I'm 16 , I have a 2 stroke gillera runner it's loads of fun especially when some bikes think it's slow and I pull away from stop lights like nothing lol
I've got this same scooter. I love it to death, but it won't start. It's got a spark, carb is flowing ok, starter and battery good. Feels like good compression. Only thing I can think of is that maybe the auto-choke isn't working? Have you had any problems with yours in the last couple years?
Have you compared this to a 150cc scooter? I got a 150 for my first bike. I'm learning to ride it at 53 years old. You say this has no power but to me my 150 is a beast. Then again i'm 110 lbs and 5 foot 3. My previous experience is a 38 mph ebike I built 11 years ago. It's a 48 volt 1000 watt hub motor on a 26 inch mountain bike. The scooter is WAY different to ride and way heavier.
I live in a Norwegian city, I drive a scooter so I can get around. I am also a guy, why do people call me gay because I ride a scooter? I am also completely straight with a girlfriend. People have no respect
"You're gay" "Oh yeah, I bet you'd love that." If you're straight and you know it then just flirt with them. Usually makes it fun. Back on topic, what do you ride? I'm looking at a 1968 Lambretta J50 at the moment. It'll be great next year when I'm living in the city for college and fun in the summer until then. Any thoughts or advice for a newbie? I've had a car licence for nearly 3 years now but cars are so damn expensive and complicated.
that red dot, 45KM/H is the speed limit in the Netherlands for 50cc scooters. i dont know if any other countries have the same limits but over here it indicates the legal speed limit. eventhough mine goes 75KM/H on a stock 50cc cylinder
those derbi,s were around here a lot when i went to highschool. now a days i dont see them very often but i still like them. meanwhile i drove my Peugeot VivaCity but i dont have it anymore since about 2-3 weeks ago
Mopeds are a lot safer than motorcycles and the risk of injury is not that much more than a bike. I am in my early 30s and have yet to apply for a driving test here in the UK, I am thinking of getting a provisional and a moped are some point soon, as an alternate to public transport and from there working up eventually to a automobile. Generally you do not need a full driving license or lessons for a moped s o they are cheaper, easier and quicker to get
We have a law that 50cc's max speed is limited to 30kmph, 18 mph buuuut not all of us follow the rules and alot of people upgrade to 70cc's which is also illegal, but ive had an upgraded 50cc go around 106kmph with good acceleration, i think you would like that more than this stock 50cc :)
10k subs without a video yes I know,actually I don’t want to learn to drive a scooter mostly I want to learn to drive a car but I don’t even know how to ride a bike 🚲 and I’m 18 🤦♂️
I've been planning on getting a bike for a long time, really like the Rieju MRX 50. My mum emailed a guy in our town and he said not to get a motorbike and to get a ped... (I could've cried xD). He says on a 50cc bike you'll just be changing gear all the time and it will be no fun.. I know there is quite a big price difference between the two, a ped is so much more cheaper, my excuse is: 1. I'll probably look a bit silly in full protective race gear on a ped! :') (I want to wear full gear because a lad in my class died on a bike a few weeks ago, I have also bought most of it already!! :') ) 2.I'll be able to take it on the trails if I got the Rieju 3. I want to learn gears! I plan on getting a bigger bike down the line. Whats your opinion? :)
Hi there! I know I'm not the guy who posted this however I have been a professional motorcyclist for more than 25 years. The person who you spoke to was right - it won't be very fun to have to change gear all the time on the bike. I started out with a moped back in 1988 and then moved on to a motorbike 2 years later. My experience with the moped was great and I will recommend this option to you. It's the best and most enjoyable way to get into motorcycles. Best of luck in your decision and let me know how you get on!
+TheNaughtyHippie Hey, PowerMatrix is right, you will have to change gears a lot. My advice would be to try an ride what bike/moped you are thinking of buying before you buy it.
Hey both, thanks for replying! You've made my decision a lot easier. I will be buying a moped and I'm still going to try out motovlogging, we'll just see how much people enjoy me on a moped rather than a bike ;) Again, thanks a lot!!
I'm going to do van life in a couple of years and I'm thinking of getting a moped as a runaround. Where would I put it in a van and how long are mopeds usually? Thanks

@@davis9045 Ok, and running faster - why not ? Limited to slow = too dangerous in traffic. In germany there is now a petition, to upgrade the limit from 45 km/h to 60 km/h. for 50 cc mopeds, scooters, etc. All comments says: More safely. In the town: If you can drive same speed as the cars etc. The old GDR-Mopeds Simson are allowed to drive 60 max. No problems with it. Not in the GDR - not later in Germany.
According to speedometer that is, which nearly always shows at least 5km more than your true speed. I have this exact same daelim s-five and it is the typical EU legal scooter with speed caps and speedometer maxes out at about 57km/h, but when testing it with GPS it is really only 49km/h.
Does it feel uncomfortable putting your feet in front when driving a scooter? And also does this cause u to feel unbalanced? Sorry for the very green question! Lol I’ve never been on any motorized bike in my life ( BUT want to lol)
dont care if its a 50cc or 1000cc always wear the right gear 40mph is still 40mph doesnt matter what you are on if you fall off you will needing skin grafts for the rest of your life from experience ive fallen off at high speed believe me it sucks i had good gear on luckily got out with a few bruises and broken bones would of been so much worse if i was just in shorts and tshirt

Isn't it better than leaning forward all the time
50cc scooter is basically a lawnmower with a headlight. Lol
i have never seen a lawnmover with such a small engine. lol
xd may be but a lawnmower that can get U from a to b at about 40mph, end of the day better than walking
Thomas Ashman well said
Smaller skinnier lawn mower without blades and with only two tires basically a motorcycle with the middle cut out and a smaller engine put in

Im thinking of getting one to use in the winter months
She is a beast of a bike.
They can go up to 80 km/h easily just by removing the engine limiter.
We have videos to prove it.
its all fun and games until you get caught and have to pay 800 dollars

The red dot is the maximum speed you can do with the restrictor
For around town I love my scooter. You have to be honest about what it's for though, slower roads the better.
I have a Yamaha 50F BWS (Zuma is what it's called in the USA). I'm a pretty big guy, weigh around 210 pounds, I can reliably get 60kph on the flat streets, but up hill 45kph is about average.

For my cities roads, the scooter is great. Any roads that might be too fast for it have back roads that are more fun to drive anyways.
I agree, scooters are great for the city, less likelihood of them getting stolen too.
Yea I'm 16 , I have a 2 stroke gillera runner it's loads of fun especially when some bikes think it's slow and I pull away from stop lights like nothing lol
You are a big guy, my 50cc speedfight goes 55mph/ 90kph
I've got this same scooter. I love it to death, but it won't start. It's got a spark, carb is flowing ok, starter and battery good. Feels like good compression. Only thing I can think of is that maybe the auto-choke isn't working? Have you had any problems with yours in the last couple years?
