Getting Sick in Kazakhstan, Puch Maxi is back! | Moped adventure touring in Asia

Returning from Tajikistan I travel north through Kyrgyzstan to Bishkek to get my Puch Maxi back. Afterwards I continue on towards Kazakhstan, where I get sick for the first time, so bad in fact I had to go to the hospital. And right afterwards I felt a lot better and was already on the road again.
In 2018 I did this trip where I shipped my Moped to Mongolia and rode it all the Way back home to Austria. In 3 Months I covered 13.000 kilometers crossed the Mongolian steppes and went through the Pamir Mountains. All in all it was an awesome adventure I wouldn't want to miss.

If you didn't know, that rider who stopped to say hello was Nick Saunders, at this moment in time riding an electric bike around the world having done record breaking runs in the past. Thank you for sharing.

[@Mr.Engineer.]

WOW! Big bike riders actually giving a moped rider a thought, a wave and even a stop and talk treatment. I am speechless ... Seemed like a good fellow :)

[@maxitouring]

Well honestly the farther I was away from europe the nicer the motorcyclists were, until ukraine most of them waved and talked to me.

[@Mr.Engineer.]

​@@maxitouring Must be the adventure spirit and more welcoming culture of the east :)

[@Mr.Engineer.]

Officer: Have you been speeding?! Adventure rider: No of course not officer, I ride moped style! :D

[@rrecee2639]

@8:00 'How extraordinary...good for you'. Maxi Touring, we are all thinking that as we watch your journey.

[@thomash4447]

Yeah...and that motorcycle rider didn't even see that he did most of his trip on a 2 stroke 50cc!.. more than extraordinary he prob would have crapped himself seeing that! :)

[@cubgsan]

Good day to you. I am a Honda Cross Cub Grandpa from Japan. It is a nice Super Cub adventure video!! Thank you so much for sharing. Have a nice day!!

[@rafeeqmohd6271]

Incredible...All those Big bikers were confused

[@motorwouter]

Life experience you never forget

[@Theophilus1968]

You’re making me cold just watching you go over the mountain pass. Lol.

[@johnturner561]

[@captlarry-3525]

I did 5000 miles in Mexico.. much of it too late in the year..and got heat prostration.. sick for days and had to hole up.

[@Bang-tidy]

Good British blokes always stop to see if you need help

[@maggie4475]

Another great Adventure... Awesome..

[@arees8962]

Epic 😍😍😍👍

[@jatampk9436]

u r amazing

[@bullanguero82]

You're so awkward around people haha. Love to see it.

[@Miesn]

Wow you´ve met Nick Sanders. Its definitely him! He did a tour back then with Touratech and you can see the lable on his jacket. Its him. I checked the Touratech article about his tour :D

[@Klickerman]

Amazing adventure. Cool music.

[@AB-kg6rk]

Again, cool music, great sound engineering.

[@captlarry-3525]

Time to warm your hands on the cylinder head ! ( great thing about bmw airheads.. is the hand warmers are easy to get to while riding ..)

[@geraldscott4302]

I know about heat. I live in Phoenix, AZ U.S., it's about 46 degrees C here right now, and has been for the past few weeks. No end in sight. How did you like the Super Cub? I'm thinking about getting one. Once again, loving your videos.

Can u try plz to drive Honda kinetic x plz

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Ich finde all die Filme spitze - danke fürs Teilen. Hab mir jüngst selbst ne 50cc Schaltmokick gekauft und will diesen Sommer auch international auf Tour. Ich hab da zwei Fragen: 1) Hast du Tips für Schrauberneulinge bzgl. Lehrbüchern o.ä.? Weil mein Fahrzeughandbuch ist aus Fernost und da steht fast nix drin. 2) Darf ich fragen wie du die langen Fahrzeiten finanzierst bzw. das mit dem Job regelst? Durch Asien rattern dauert ja gerne mal was, investierst du da deinen ganzen Urlaub in so eine Tour oder wie gehst du da ran? Abo lass ich da, bin gespannt auf alle neuen Filme. Und danke im voraus! Ralf

[@maxitouring]

Danke, wenn dein Fahrzeug aus Fernost ist würd ich aufpassen, wichtig ist dass man leicht Support bekommen kann (also Ersatzteile oder Fachwissen). Ansonsten kann ich nur empfehlen im Vorhinein gewissen Dinge einfach zu machen. Bei nem gebrauchten alten einfacher weil immer was zu machen ist, bei nem neuen ist da die Hürde evtl größer, aber Tutorial-Videos gibt's eig zu vielen Fahrzeugen. Waren bisher ja nur 2 eigentlich, und für die längere hab ich ne Auszeit vom Studium genommen, die andere dann in den Ferien. Ansonsten hab ich's von vielen mitbekommen die sich da den ganzen oder viel Urlaub nehen und wenn's länger ist in Etappen fahren und das Fahrzeug wo unterstellen. Finanziert hab ich mir das durch sparen, und so teuer war das eigentliche reisen auch nicht bzw lässt sich das auch billiger machen als meine Reise. Ohne meine Zusatzausgaben wie Transport und Flug in die Mongolei oder dem gemieteten Moped in Kirgisistan, kann man da mit ca 750€ im Monat bequem auskommen, weniger oder mehr ist natürlich auch möglich.

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

@@maxitouring Danke dir zunächst mal für die Antwort :) Den Punkt mit den Chinaböllern versteh ich durchaus, Ersatzteile sind hier in Holland bspw. einfach zu kriegen - in Deutschland ist das schon weitaus schwerer. Geschraubt hab ich bisher auch nur an einer alten Kreidler - MF2 oder MF4 müsste das gewesen sein, das ist aber schon wieder 15 Jahre her und man vergisst doch so manches bzw. hat es bei solchen Teilen doch einfacher als bei 50ern mit Fussschaltung... Ich nehme mal an die 750 EUR/Monat sind inklusive Hotels usw? Ich ziele grade nämlich mehr auf 300-500 ab, dann aber hauptsächlich mit Tarp bzw. Zelt irgendwo in der Pampa.

[@maxitouring]

Die 750 sind mit billigen Unterkünften und Treibstoff und Visa.

[@chtefanchtefan6947]

.... можно сказать по русски:- где Honda Super Cub EFI ????????

[@paulsmith9241]

How many kilometres between stops and average fuel consumption if you don't mind! Thanks

[@maxitouring]

Depends a lot, i travelled between 80 and 400km between stops, depended on the day, motivation and so on. Fuel about3- 4l per 100km

[@paulsmith9241]

Thanks for that really gives an insight to the adventure... For me one day !

[@captlarry-3525]

The constant noise of the maxi has been wearing me out in the videos.. must drive you bats riding !

[@mortenelster4864]

Wasn't that Nick Sanders..?

[@maxitouring]

I don't think it was haha

[@mortenelster4864]

Was he riding a Yamaha..?

[@maxitouring]

@@mortenelster4864 honestly can't remember, but his voice sounded quite a bit different

[@williamllorens2141]

That to me looks like a Honda 50 or 70 or something similar. Not a puch 😅❤❤❤

[@maxitouring]

It is a Honda50, that I had rented for 2 weeks, however in the end of the video the puch is back

[@williamllorens2141]

Whatever happened to that puch?😢

[@maggie4475]

Have you ever run out of gas? If so what did you do?

[@chtefanchtefan6947]

.... you can say in Russian: - where is the Honda Super Cub EFI ????????

[@StepanStepan-ri6hy]

????????

[@captlarry-3525]

after what the Honda did, i dont know why you would want the maxi back...

[@thomash4447]

You're missing the whole point!

[@timhudson1846]

I wouldn't ride anything but that little Honda!!

[@captlarry-3525]

@@thomash4447 not really, I have referred many to this video, in praise of what it can do.

[@jonnolly]

Lost. Where did you pick up Maxi again?

[@maxitouring]

Around 9:30 the maxi is back, but there is no scene about it, just forgot to film that (not a professional filmmaker here :D )

[@nicumarc5788]

@@maxitouring what kind of engine this bike has compared to the 1st maxi trip??This one sounds a bit different!?

[@maxitouring]

@@nicumarc5788 this is still part of the first maxi trip, just in the middle of it i rented a honda c50 supercub, it has a 50cc supercub engine. And drove a loop from kirgistan to tajikistan and back. The puch maxi has for every trip a standard E50 puch engine.

[@aavdd8539]

why do you change your cycle?was it stolen?

[@maxitouring]

nah only for 2 weeks, unfortunately where I went there, my original moped wasn't abe to handle the altitude and steep climbs. But after a short 3000km Loop i came back and continued on my old moped.

[@gregorjaunik5089]

Was ist denn Passiert dass du auf einmal ein anderes moped fährst

[@maxitouring]

nicht für immer und ganz einfach aus dem grund dass mein ursprüngliches moped die hohen Berge nicht gepackt hätte

[@gregorjaunik5089]

@@maxitouring schön dass du dich gemeldet hast denn der Trip ist ja schon ne weile her. Hab mir die Videos angeschaut und bin immer noch begeistert was du da so geleistet hast und natürlich die mopeds. Ganz ganz herzlichen Gruß an dich und Hut ab. Es war mir ein Vergnügen diese Videos zu sehen und mit zu fühlen. ✌️Sr 50 factory, ✌️
