Unleash Your Adventure

What the Volkswagen Beetle was to Germany after the second world war is the moscout to Asia. Namely it mobilizes the masses. But if you think its only good for transporting a person or two at a time, you don't even begin to do them justice. Moscouts literally transport every thing - as in we see them regulary defy the laws of physics. (And for that matter the legal riding age as it is nothing to see what looks like an eight year old kid whizz by with his five year old sister on back. But that tends to be strictly scooters as opposed to the moscoot so it must be safe....)

Even after 2 months of riding through south east Asia, every day we find ourself amazed by another example of what the moscouts are capable of.

Here is a litle (incomplete) list of what we have seen so far:

A moscout

- with a complete Thai family: mum, dad and 3 kids

- towing a car

- carrying 6 mattresses

- moving 3 pigs or 6 piglets

- loaded with 40 chickens or 200 chicks or 400 eggs

- with a dad and his kid holding onto a bicycle

- fifty coconuts 

This was on a single moscout remind you. But when a moscout has a sidecar or trailer (sometimes both) attached it gets even better:

- A complete Thai restaurant, including the kitchen with one or 2 stoves, food to cook, dishes, 2 tables and 8 chairs plus the cook and 1 or 2 assistance.

- 400 liters of gasoline in canisters

- 1 cow or 2 calves

- 1 donkey

- enough wood to build a hut

For what in the western world one might think is a truck needed is in South east Asia done by a little moscout :)
