Some maths required methinks...
This wee moto gives 3.1 horsepower at 7500 rpm... with a claimed top speed of 45 Km/hour.
You say you wish to cover 13500 km over 38 days so, in round numbers, that's 355 kms a day, every day...
At a constant full throttle that's almost 8 hours a day... I sense a 'kaboooom' coming on.....

In the real world, that would probably translate to a more credible 12 hours, a day seven days a week which is going to be very hard. Have you thought this through? and the above does not take into account time needed for 'nature' stops, food stops. fuel stops, repairs, oil changes... etc. You may wish to factor in more days on the road.

Fun vehicle though! but with a lot of heavy and Oversize vehicles out there, it is perhaps not the nimblest to get out of the way. I've learned out there that there are three expressions which seldom feature in any truckers vocab. which are 'slow down', 'give way' and 'drive totally sober'...
Nevertheless , Good luck in your venture

Hi Bertrand, totally agree with your thinking and comments ... my maths is a "first cut - close as dammit" idea .. the idea is to travel everyday and travel as long as possible everyday, I know its not going to be easy and part of the reason for the trip is a mental challenge. I have spoken with many cyclists and a few people who have done the loop on sub 100cc bikes and they all say its tough and watch out for the road trains :-) how did you come across the specs ? Do you know the type of scooter? ... thanks for your comments.

your trip sounds like fun (but perhaps allowing for a lot more time)
As with so many things in life, it's always good to keep informed:Beach:
p.s. I did not factor in any allowances for extra weight such as luggage etc...

With what Mezo?
