3000km on a Moped from Austria to Tunisia and Back | Maxi Touring Travel

[@paulknights3701]

'Having a real adventure' ....but without the big adventure bike and fancy kit. A Puch Maxi 50cc moped....and the right spirit. Brilliant.

[@johnnyrook6371]

May you continue having happy and safe journeys.

[@SalopianBivvyman]

Great adventure, you given me some confidence to get out on my 2 stroke bike for some fun. Look forward to your next adventure!!👍👍

[@robinwells8879]

Thanks for sharing these. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them and hope that more will follow in due course. Go well sir!

[@-runningwithscissors-9766]

Another epic adventure at 50kmph.....or less. Cheers!

[@DeiotarusBlogspotEs]

I love your adventures aboard a 50cc moped! I also have a 50cc Rieju Bye Bike with which I do routes and I have a great time. It is clear that you don't need great bikes to have great moments. Greetings from Spain!

[@hilmisyahirmohdwari2186]

I do not understand why you don't have million subscribers. I love your content, especially on your moped. That thing is tougher than some of our "adventure" bikes

[@maxitouring]

Haha Thanks!

[@ed6971]

Thank you for the wonderful videos, absolutely great and looking forward to the next adventures, come to visit the U.K. 👍🏻😊

[@catalingioacas452]

Hi Max. What are you doing in the daily life? Will you have other moped tours? Amazing all your videos...everything is so therapeutical💪

[@maxitouring]

Currently working and writing my thesis. I'll definitely do some other tours, but right now I don't have the time. And Thanks!

[@hasansonmez3705]

My first motorcycle was puch maxi sl. Then I slowly changed my engine. I'm currently using Hayabusa. but it is not as enjoyable as puch. Puch maxi still looks better to me. I enjoy watching your videos. I hope you upload videos with puch again.

[@thomash4447]

I lose track of time watching your moped adventures! I should be working but I love these so much I can't help it. lol Your Maxi is one impressive machine, it keeps on ticking for you. Hope to see you on the road again soon. :)

[@maxitouring]

Haha thanks! Me too, this year however i don't think anything will be possible.

[@Moped-Frank]

Bin gespannt auf dein und Maxis nächstes Abenteuer! Danke für die Videos!

[@voneschenbachmusic]

Looks like a great adventure - would love to see the Roman stuff in Tunisia. Thanks for sharing!

[@roywhite8504]

I enjoy all your videos. Good lessons on how to store your gear, on the go maintenance and repair, and how much a man and his machine can take. You did great.

[@chriscalloway652]

What a fantastic adventure. You will never regret this journey. Your video gave me a sense of what it must have been like for you. Your endurance was phenomenal.

[@cyrilp900]

Hey man. Thanks for sharing your adventures, very impressive. Now that traveling is basically impossible due to the corona, it might be nice to share a movie about the moped and luggage setup. Keep it up!

[@GTAIVisbest]

11:00 noooo bro please don't tell me you didn't lane-filter past in Tunisia, that's part of the joy and pleasure of riding there!

[@dartmoormole]

Great stuff!

[@2Stroke_yourtje]

Awesome video to prepare myself going for my first long trip i will take!

[@gatisadams]

You are legend

[@anabelabrsanovic965]

Bravo

[@1970savage]

Thanks for sharing your adventure . Stay safe

[@robinwells8879]

Come to think of it, I have a DAF33 with the variable belt drive and centrifugal clutch that sound similar to the Puch.

[@AlexanderLanderman]

Any chance you'll do a walkthrough of you bike now that we are all stuck inside? I'd love to know more about your set up and just see it close up. Also, love the channel!

[@maxitouring]

Thanks and No not at the moment unfortunately as the Moped is at my parents place and i am currently on the other side of the country for an Internship.

[@Mr.Engineer.]

Keep it up & let me know when you come to Norway so that I can join you :) If you feel like riding with us uptight 4 stroke guys then :P

[@maxitouring]

I'll definitely let you know :D

[@ThePowerknoedel]

Auch ne mega geile Tour! Mit dem Mofa in der Wüste heizen 😅 du hast Eier!

[@maxitouring]

Haha danke!

[@jonschannel5850]

Wonderful as always. Keep it up! 👍👍👍👍

[@crazy1901]

hey thanks for cheering us up. How many miles / km do you get on a tank?

[@maxitouring]

Thank you for watching, I get somewhere between 80 and 100km.

[@eagleeye111pindi7]

Good 👍

[@zombiedeutsch]

I love my piaggio ciao , it's a similar moped. If i am mot mistaken these puch are made by piaggio as well

[@maxitouring]

They are similar yes, no actually piaggio only started making them after they bought the company. But mine is from before that time.

[@jimmyberubelevesque2557]

Are you planning to do more of these videos in the future? You seemed to end the video saying that a video was coming up maybe? But its been 2 years ago?

[@maxitouring]

Well the virus came which made travel a lot harder. But I am currently in the early planning stages for more videos ;)

[@jimmyberubelevesque2557]

@@maxitouring Oh yeah, man! Your series are so fun and relaxing to watch. Glad to read that you personnally didn't stop doing what you do!

[@Klickerman]

Always great music in your videos. How how how?

[@maxitouring]

Finding a track for a video takes as long if not longer than the editing process itself, and still I'm not always pleased with the available music.

[@Klickerman]

@@maxitouring indeed. Thanks for taking the time

[@ani-on-e]

Stephan, when will we get to see your new travel blogs? Hope everything is well. Take care man!

[@maxitouring]

Unfortunately no travels right now, everything is fine though. Have to wait for international travel to be possible again without too much hassle.

[@ani-on-e]

@@maxitouring Yes. Hope things will become normal soon. And we will watch more wonder wonderful stories from you.

[@thomash4447]

@@maxitouring We certainly hope for another adventure from you, or other Maxi content! In the meantime I just keep replaying the trips you already did.....my favorite being Mongolia. On a personal note, I have devised a trip for myself this year...very small due to the current situation, but on my Puch Maxi nonetheless. 👍

[@maxitouring]

@@thomash4447 oh i hope so too 😅 and enjoy your own trip

[@johnstack5008]

Did you ever worry about your bike getting stolen and did you have a plan in place in case it did get stolen?

[@johnbale6343]

I enjoy both of your adventures, thank you for taking me along. Just one question, what have you named your loyal steed ?

[@maxitouring]

Just Maxi haha, but thanks!

[@ahmedlz9495]

that tunisian Customs guard was swearing and making fun of you until his friend notice that the camera is recording so he says shhh the camera is recording. i hope you didn had a problem with them beceaus They are bullies impolite and dirty nice trip though in side my country :)

[@maxitouring]

Haha well nice to know that, didn't have much trouble with them though.

[@ChrisClockwork]

ich hoff es kommt bald wieder was :)

[@tinchodbaires1996]

I wish you can trip across Argentina (ruta 40) soon. Greetings.

[@Stefan_trekkie]

As highly experienced in electronics i have made electronic ignitions for few of my friend's old 2t bikes + 12 volt conversion

[@professor77771]

Why didn't you stay with the Honda Cub ? In my mind and maybe fewer problems

[@ShankarZerone]

Cool bro 👍

[@PRSALM]

Congrats! Your trip is Inspiring. Your maxi puch is an stock 50cc 1.5hp?

[@maxitouring]

Thanks! The exhaust is a 28mm aftermarket one

[@ghilesous7804]

Nice adventure stephan ,any plans after the covid 19 is over.ride safe

[@maxitouring]

Not for the near future, but am thinking about doing some in more than 12 months

[@zombiedeutsch]

Definitely the piaggio ciao engine is much more reliable, easier to diagnose as well. I had up to 10k+ kms without any maintenance some times.

[@Tararsupport]

Tunisia 🇹🇳 was safe for tourists?

[@maxitouring]

I had no problems at all, yes a few months before there was an attack, but honestly that could happen in any country nowadays...

[@silentworld381]

don't worry my friend yes it's a safe and a very friendly country

[@christophneubauer2201]

neis. danke dast keinen platz für corona gmacht hast. gibt es deine tour daten zum nachfahren? oder würdest du sie anders planen wenn du ein stärkers Bike ghapt hättest? Lg

[@maxitouring]

Also die Tunesien Tour hätte ich wohl zum großteil auch mit nem größeren Bike so gemacht, gibt keine so richtigen Daten online aber im groben wars Tunis, Hammamet, Tatouine, Chenini, Ksar Ghilane, Douz, Tozeur, Gafsa, El Djem, Zaghouan, Bizerte, Tunis. mit nem stärkeren Bike hast halt definitiv bissl mehr Zeit um noch zu chillen oder mehr zu machen.

[@sebastienouellet5322]

Thanks for sharing your adventures...and struggles :). Remember if you ever come to Vietnam, send me a message.

[@maxitouring]

I'll keep it in mind

[@guifhatza1672]

Hey mich würde es interessieren wie sieht es mit Corona in anderen Ländern aus sind da auch schon Ausgangssperren oder nicht? Wie halt das dein Moped alles durch wie oft musst du zum Mechaniker und wie schnell fährst du immer weil mein Freund sagt wenn du immer 50 60 fährst geht alles viel schneller kaputt? LG Mark

[@maxitouring]

Fahr so 50 meistens, klar je schneller man fährt desto schneller gehn die sachen kaputt, aber 50 ist noch locker drin, die fahren ja ab werk leicht 45. Naja hält schon sind halt hin und wieder paar Kleinigkeiten die kaputt gehen, zum Mechaniker geh ich eig nur im Notfall, sonst schaff ich das selber, und auf den 3000 km war einmal was gröberes. Frag mich nicht zu Corona ich war im September in Tunesien da gabs das noch gar nicht :D Aber soweit ich weiß gibts auch in Tunesien inzwischen Ausgangssperren.

[@guifhatza1672]

@@maxitouring Hattest du auch Mal Angst auf irgendwelchen Touren das dir was passiert oder die Puch gestohlen wird will ja nicht rassistisch klingen oder Vorurteile Fällen aber überall gibt es solche Idioten, und kennen die Menschen von dort die Marke Puch würde mich auch sehr interessieren. LG

[@maxitouring]

So richtig Angst nicht, aber ein bisschen muss man schon immer aufpassen, also ich hab das Moped nach Möglichkeit nicht einfach so draußen stehen gelassen und auch immer abgeschlossen. Aber eigentlich hatte ich nie große Probleme, Puch kennen die wenigsten, in Tunesien sind viele Piaggio und Motobecane, in Zentralalsien gabs Mofas praktisch gar nicht, am ehesten kannte man Honda.

[@bekabeka71]

Time for an update

[@maxitouring]

Unfortunately no Updates, current situation doesn't really allow any travelling...

[@Mongoose118]

Any updates now sir?

[@Mongoose118]

Hello

[@Travelbeatcreations.official]

You deserve some creds for attacking these places with just moped, but you would be much better off with a 125cc motorcycle. I have a chinese Yamaha YBR copy, but not too hard on that throttle and it gives me 600 km with only 13 liter. But if you don't have licence for something bigger, there is only one thing to do if you wanna drive faster and still save some money.

[@3goldfinger]

Just found your video. You have got plenty of guts. What sort of money can you expect to pay for such an old bike.

[@maxitouring]

Thanks, well back in the day when I bought mine I paid like 350€, recently however prices have gone up quite a bit and you can expect to pay at least 600€ up to over 1k€ for one in good condition with paperwork.

[@greybeard5774]

Thumbs up, but here comes the criticism .. As for the content, there is no consistency, it's jumpy, random and superficial .. it seems that you have really nothing to say with your videos, just as if you have an obligation to show something .. or you just can't be bothered to film everything you see. However, on the technical side, things have significantly improved compared to the trip to Mongolia... the episodes are of good length, with better sound and camera work. Anyway, good luck with your future adventures, if you're still alive of course, coz it's been 3 years of great silence 😉 ✌

[@maxitouring]

Thanks also for the criticism, first I have to say I am not a great videographer, so I often forget to film or feel too akward. The superficiality I honestly don't understand, what would you like to have heard? How I changed as a Person or how the people inspired me or I really dont know... But if you need any more info feel fee to ask, maybe it's worth making a video for it ;) The video silence may be 3 years but I am always commenting here and I am thinking about new adventures, just got a bit thrown back by the whole pandemic thing and currently saving up some cash.

[@greybeard5774]

@@maxitouring - Thanks for your reply!! .. to be honest I didn't expect that 😁 Well, I would have preferred to hear and see the STORY as a whole .. a sort of book with introduction, topic development and conclusion .. where did you get the idea to go to Mongolia at all .. and don't tell me this has been your lifelong dream, lol .. what force drives you out of your cozy home into the wild World :)) Then - much more "boring stuff" related to your trip - getting visas, finding hotels, prices, money exchange etc .. how and when you maintain and fix your two wheeled trusty companion .. info about local food, tourist traps, attractions, etc .. a bit of history about these countries, cities .. their cultural specificity and religion .. No worries, you're doing great .. it's me and my curiosity - when the subject is interesting, I need to know more :)) Anyways, it was nice to hear from you .. I wish you best of luck in your personal life and in planning and preparing new trips ✌ However, to get enough money to travel, you probably have to rob a bank 😉

[@zombiedeutsch]

The customs guy in tunisia was cursing and speaking shit, then he realized the camera was filming. did they charge you 200€?

[@maxitouring]

didn't charge anything haha
