250 Miles on a Vespa Primavera 50cc

[@bbart3d]

That was fun. If you're up for making more ride videos, I'm up for watching them.

[@datsunruss]

Wow - the little 50 took a lot of abuse and still got you to journeys end. Great to see some of the scenery. Looks like ideal biking territory. Please do more of these types of vids if you get the time Robot.

[@VespaPortland]

Loved everything about this.

[@stan5513]

So cool to see my most-ridden roads through new eyes from a 50cc Vespa. You really made my day.

[@byfedericojimenez]

Keep making videos like this! It was fantastic!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thanks for watching!

[@kevinell6605]

Official madness ...the little motor coped well I thought considering most was at full throttle !!

[@merlecausey5921]

Great video, Robot! Sure wish you could do more of these. I’m amazed you were able to make that trip on a 50 cc Vespa.

[@Gregs_World]

I greatly appreciate this video and I know there's a lot of comments here because people love you you are one of the main reasons why I have a GTS 300 HPE in my garage... I wish I lived in San Diego but instead I am on the West Coast of Florida I have ordered a lot of stuff from the shop and will continue to do so, however because it's nice to have a piece of your place on my Vespa I hope you will do a lot more these journeys and what you just did there was epic... 50cc in the sand... Just crazy but thoroughly enjoyable thanks for everything you do for the Vespa community

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thanks so much for your support, we really appreciate the business and the community all over the country!

[@seandarcy1298]

Loved this video, good to see the backroads and scenery, especially from your perspective / riding expertise / knowledge of the area.

[@izzy99891]

Never imagined that Vespa 50cc could take on an adventure like this.Now I can really appreciate what this scooter has to offer and your a brave man to be out in that wilderness.Great commentary.

[@03flhtcui]

Thumbs up for you just for the effort alone and the insane amount of planning and time it took you to put this video together. Anything from 50cc to 2,000cc's...doesn't matter to me I ride them all. I have taken long trips on a Tomos Moped and Honda Ruckus before and had a whole lot of fun. The Ruckus with it's semi-knobby tires would of handled that soft sand a whole lot better than that Vespa did. You can have a lot of fun on a 50cc scooter and this just proves it.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelring6690]

Loved the video, Robot! I have a 2020 Primavera 50cc and it's wild to see you go on this journey and how well the scooter handled it.

[@mauricehess537]

A new segment ROBOTS TRAVELS !! ,, nice informative and scenic video , I like the moving map to show where you were ,, more would be nice on different Scooters to show what they can do !!

[@VespaMotorsport]

[@lapboard340]

That was terrific!! Thank you kindly for making this video! I will watch it again. I just bought a 2020 primavera 50cc. this past spring and have been putt putting around Winnipeg learning how to ride.

well done robot....wish we had the weather like that in the u.k. love your videos.had vespas all my life.just got the new i.get liberty on your recomendation.....keep up the good work. regard from great britain.

Thanks! Have fun with your new scoot...

[@dannydanielson9257]

Great coverage well done. I enjoyed your trip. Have taken my 2014 GTS to 10000ft perfect on the down hills a bit hectic going up with lack of oxygen but was fun. Did a 1000Km trip in two days. This was in the mountains of Lesotho a country within South Africa. Looking forward to seeing more trips for you.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Sounds like our kind of adventure! Thanks for watching and hopefully we’ll have some more of these type of videos soon.

[@warren8601]

That was a fun video Robot. Most riders would never think of doing a ride like that on a 50cc scooter. Your off road riding experience showed as you had no fear riding in the sand or going up the embankment.

[@SuperQueenV.]

Awesome video! It's nice to see these every once in awhile

[@ashleyroffe]

Your videos are always clear and informative, and this was so interesting. You tell so much about the places that it makes me want to go there. Please make more! Wish I lived near your shop!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad you like them!

[@jo-annemurray5923]

Loved watching your video, Robot!~ It's a cold winter day here in Boston, 28 degrees F. Watching you ride through the sand and dessert is the next best thing! I do ride in the winter, but when it's above 35 degrees. :) Love your DIY videos too!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thanks for watching, glad we could warm you up a bit!

[@Diap842IV]

What an adventure! I am a recent owner of a GTV 250. Used to ride to Julian and along S-2 on larger cruisers but not in 25 years. Old 80 through Plaster City was broken and pot hole ridden even then. Can’t believe they haven’t fixed it up yet. New suspension must be better than mine as I can hardly stand riding the old GTV on choppy roads. Anyway, who’d a thought a 50cc motor could make a trip like that, especially in the sand. Well Done!

[@bobinhouston7638]

Robot, I took a break from overhauling a Fly 150 carburetor (thx for that video), and really enjoyed this Arizona desert getaway video while enjoying my lunch. Stay safe. Bob in Houston

[@VespaMotorsport]

Very cool! Thanks for watching!

[@zenjazzboston]

I loved this! A first-time scooter buyer, I have been debating about investing in a 50cc Vespa. Thank you for shedding light on what it can do. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

I love 50cc bikes, had an original honda 50, a honda MB5, and a Vespa ciao moped. love 50cc touring stories. great feature, Thanks Robot.

I LOVE THE 50CC "Stretch" doing impossible things with 4hp..Love it! Imay buy a bigger scooter some day, but I will always want the 50. So amazing what you can do with the basic scooter.

Intereting video. Learned so much about my new Vespa from your instructional videos. You sound like a great pal to have and to ride around with. Would love to do a road trip with a buddy someday on my SuperTech. Thanks for the video. And I learned a little about that part of the U.S. Huge thanks for that too!

[@Theophilus1968]

I've ridden crotch rockets, dirt bikes, cruisers, classic motos, sidecars and currently a Moto Guzzi but never had a scooter. My father in law is giving me his 2016 Piaggio 50cc and I'm very excited! I've also been eyeballing a Honda ct125 trail bike for my high school boy. Thanks for the fun vid!

Brilliant!!!! 50cc=UR not well. Nice meeting you last month by the way.... yelling "Robot" from crawling under the garage door. Priceless. Party on!!!

[@stuartv-e8161]

Awesome 😎

[@ZipKroon]

The new 50cc's are little to slow to me. The carb ones you could just saw into the cdi and remove the variator ring and it goes around 65/70 km per hour. The new ones struggle to get to 50..

[@theoldman8877]

I was concerned that you might have trouble slowing for the 15 mph turn before Julian.

[@HillbillyonaYZ]

Probably my favorite Robot video to date. I love ride videos (pretty much all I post on my channel), getting to see other parts of the country and other people's input on things. I too am hoping for more..

[@etubrute8474]

Insanely cool 😎 ride Robot! You are one helluva rider! That sand was nuts! I live in FL and can’t imagine riding in sand… now I know that with the right skills anything is possible on a Vespa!

[@paulbudford]

You put a lot of these adventure bike rider's to shame. You see so much more riding a 50cc, than a big bike. I picked up a 50cc typhoon last year. The dealer thought I was crazy riding 90 miles home!

[@jamesconner3437]

Ninety miles home with a brand new scooter ????? Crazy, lucky, brave....all of those !!! Evidently the dealer is reputable and did a good pre-delivery test.

Hi Robot... Would be GREAT if you would do this more often ! Each time with a different scooter (cc size and brand... Vespa / Buddy etc). Thanks for taking us along for the ride !!! Scoot On ! Paul

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely want to do more of these. Thanks for tuning in!

[@reichgbg]

Very fun to watch this desert ride, and see small town from your POV. I live in Sweden, and this desert enviroment is just stunning for northern people as myself. I never see this kind of stuff earlier. And I'm a big fan of Vespa's. I own a brand new ET4 from -97 in the old days of the 90:s, and also had a PK125 Automatica from -85. Not fuel effecient at all! Haha.. Now I ride both a Honda Shadow VT600 from -88 and a Peugeot Trekker 50 cc from -98. But I'm dreaming of getting a GTS300 HPE later in the future. Keep this kind of clip coming too. Except all interesting clips from your store/shop! Thank's for putting these kind of clips up!

you should do a tips video for long vespa trips, im planning a 800km round trip with my gts300. any tips are welcome! :) keep up the great content guys!

[@oldshakyhands]

Take half of what you think you need. Did 1700 miles camping last year, NC500 in Scotland on my GTS 300. 530 miles in 9.5 hours to get home. Who needs a GS?

[@aldee2787]

Start small and see if its fun. I am planing a 1300 km tour with my 50 Sprint. First thing I signed up for a motoring association for roadside assistance. Then did a 100km tour to see if its fun. Next a 250 km tour to see how far I can get in one day and how long I can sit on the Vespa. After feeling fine I did a last test with 150 km fully loaded to test the handling, the iPhone mirror mount and if the navigation is working the way I like it. Also wanted to see if the Flyscreen and luggage mounts were good. Installed the Michelin Tyre Monitoring System. Bought a small 1.5l extra fuel tank. Also wanted to test the capacity of the bags. Check for a glove box bag, very handy for the bottle, power bank and cables. Depending on the weather, maybe bad weather clothing, like under armor cold gear, rain covers for the bags and the shoes! If you have a jet helmet with a short shield consider a long shield. Hope this helps.

Reminded me of the old Mexico videos. I wouldn't ride a 50cc on that stuff, 300cc is where its at. Reminded me a bit like Andalucia in Spain. I had to remove my side stand on the Vespa GTS300, kept grinding on left hand bends. More videos like this would be good. :)

A 50 will do it if you will! I dailied a couple for a year and a half. No real longer trips but I accumulated ~10k miles in that time.. ok technically they were 70cc for most of those miles but that really just made em better at hills. Chinese scooters.. overall, I was pretty impressed with em.

I was a little confused earlier when you said the Primavera does 40-45 mph as we resticted to 30mph over here in the U.K. but then I saw in the comments you had a malossi ecu. Did you do a vid on tuning these up earlier in the year? Thank you Robot

So next we will see how much you can get out of this 50cc iget motor? big bore kit, exhaust, ecu, some head work, camshaft, variator etc. At least I hope we will see that :)

[@VespaMotorsport]

This bike has the malossi ecu installed. It’s our shop demo bike so we probably won’t get too crazy with the mods. The 50cc Vespas are pretty rare here in CA. We even did a video offering free installation of all the performance upgrades and no one stepped up! Hopefully we’ll get a candidate scooter to install everything on!

[@larrymendoza4652]

@@VespaMotorsport I would have stepped up but I live in France. I HAD to purchase a 50cc since the insurance companies here won't accept my US or Canadian driver's licenses, or my AAA International license. I didn't want to go through all the red tape to get a French license. So, I settled for the 2020 Primavera 50cc , glossy black. I upgraded it to the max - touring package, top case, etc. I ordered all the performance upgrades and some extra from you guys and installed everything myself. Thanks for the detailed videos!!! AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO, I"m glad to know what my 50cc can do! I plan on moving back to AZ, USA. Do you deliver nationwide (US)?
