🇳🇱Vespa PIAGGIO CIAO touring - GoPro

A nice tour through the Dutch countryside on a stock 1994 Vespa Piaggio Ciao. Well, not completely stock: it was made for touring.

    Haha, dank je wel! Ja, het is stiekem een fantastisch brommertje. Doodeenvoudig en tegelijkertijd met heel veel design-elementen van de Vespa scooters. Zijn tijd ver vooruit.

    Oh, in fact not that much, just some minor things. Let's see: - Added front luggage rack for carrying a backpack - Added GoPro mount to the front fork for nicer b-roll shots - Added a 5 liter fuel can, fixed it to the rear luggage rack using clamping straps - Added some wood to the back rack (strapped to it with tie wraps) to prevent the fuel can from moving forward, which would mess with the seat movement - Added the spring holder to the rear luggage rack - it wasn't on my Ciao originally, but it's extremely handy to help keep the fuel can in place - Added a RAM X-Grip to the handle bars for navigating using my phone - Filled up the tool box with everything (hopefully...) to fix any breakdowns: extra spark plug, rear light, basic tools, nuts for the clutch housing and rear pulley, tie wraps (always handy!) and of course an adapter for the tires, so that I can inflate them using a standard bicycle pump. - Added a bag hook to the steering, though I didn't need to use it for this day trip I guess that's it!

    @@1bboyred1 Ah, ok 🙂. Yes, it certainly is possible (there's a special bicycle mode, in which the engine is disconnected), but I wouldn't suggest it for longer distances. You can reach about 15 mph when pedaling like mad I guess. I had to do it once for about 2 miles and even though I'm in good shape, I was pretty tired afterwards... but it beats walking with the bike in your hand anyday.
