Today I had the opportunity to meet Alex. Great guy, and a great team there, at Sym Romania. Also, I saw Fred and Donnie. And of course, I ordered an Symphony ST. now I have to find a name for it. Congrats Alex for your Fred! Hope you would have tons of great time riding him.
Really awesome meeting you and hope you enjoy the 2 wheeled lifestyle and remember it's never too late to get your A class license. After some time on the symphony if you feel you want more and you want to explore more get your A license and get on something with 3-400cc 😁😁😁
@@RideWithAlex If the things would go well, in august I am scheduled (read postponed) to sustain A license exam. Until now, it didn't do well nor me, neither the instructor and the motorcycles the school uses. These motorcycles should have been scrapped years ago. But with more ambition I hope I would succeed. PS: Those 300 and 400 ADX, and the Maxsym 400, look so good to me...😂
I am honestly happy for you! It`s great to hear that the deal has gone thru! Welcome to the channel FRED! Great times coming! What a awesome choice you have done! Congrats!
@@RideWithAlex this video and the one you did before convinced me to buy a 350E when i get my A2 license, i just need something to cruise and this scoot fit perfectly ! I actually have a Longjia XDV 125, it's decent, it looks nice, but i don't really like the 300cc upgrade, so Zontes we go !
Yesterday i finished Donnie's trip to Armenia and back. Cannot tell you how much I enjoyed that series. Cannot wait to see where you take Fred I think you should take Fred around Turkey a lot of Turkey maybe all the coast lines black sea, Mediterranean, Aegean and Marmara. I think would be a fun trip
@@RideWithAlex damn life getting in the way 😂 while a big trip awaits the trans alpine pass was it called where you taken Donnie and the 3 125s would be good to see
Mă bucur mult de bucuria ta! Cât mai mulți km fără probleme și cât mai multe călătorii... spre Alpii francezi, Dolomiți și Tirol! 😃Și filmări cât mai lungi! 👍👍👍
Congratulations Alex. I bought the QJ FORT 350 last November. No need to expand on what it has as I am sure you already know. I will say THIS: it is PURRRRRFECT! They gave me a free Falcon black top box! Enjoy in good health!
Great Job Alex, I always watch your videos at once. You are about to convince me to quit my Triumph Tiger 800 for Zontes 350E as my only bike. Greeting from Piraeus, Greece
And under 4/100km in A busy city. Could be less if u try but that's no fun. The 310m might be a bit faster but the 350e feels and sounds like it has more power.
Hello Alex! I'm glad you were able to come to an agreement with your company! You have jumped into an interesting construction, which has both good and bad parts, but it is also very inventive and tricky in your favor! 😀 I see that no one has asked yet, but where does the name Fred come from, can you tell me anything about it? Many happy kilometers with Fred!🙂
Thank you, it came as an ideea, batman's butler is called Alfred, Fred is short for of Alfred, and just like him I hope will be loyal and dependable on my journeys 😁
hey alex after trying many scooters whats the best market that build the best quality is the kymco or the sym because in my country i have two options with the same price the kymco people s 125 A/C and the sym adx 200 L/C . i hope you answer me and thanks 🙏
Sym and Kymco are both from Taiwan and they both are just about at the same level. There's no real metric on how to measure which one is better. They are both good manufacturers. Depends if the scooter fits your needs.
Alex is speed running relibality testing by just putting 5 years of km every year! truely our strongest soldier! BTW how much do you weigh? (to figure out how much rider's size affect top speed)
Hi Alex, congrats on your new toy. Looking forward on ur new adventures on the bike. Was wondering if you will ever get to try the AK Premium and have a chance to ride distance with it. I'm in Arizona and the AK550 is getting hugely popular here, probably that is b'cuz we can't get the Tmax.
How many bikes do you have now? Sym, BMW and now Zontes? Wich one do you use the most? How often do you use BMW and why would you use Zontes for roadtrips when you have BMW? (besides scooters being the best touring bikes)
Yes I have all 3 now, the bmw is good for trips but after a long trip because it's a big heavy bike it does take a toll on you. If you are just traveling for the sale of fun it's a good bike, but sometimes I travel for work either regular job or this channel and so I need something fast and relaxing to ride so I can cover ground quickly, film what I want, and get back home. Plus the bmw is almost a 28 years old bike with 188.000km is more of a clasic to be enjoyed not a workhorse, I need a workhorse.
Concerning fuel consumption i am always at 4 lt/km in city, never succeeded 3.3 lt/km and in city noone can get this consumption, unless he/she travels in 30-40 km/h
@@RideWithAlex what is annoying is that the fuel indicator is mostly unreliable! In my previous nh-t worked correctly but with this bike you never know with how much fuel you are left.

@@RideWithAlex Can't wait to see it in the showroom.
Symphony Is A Good Choice For A Beginner , I Think !!
I am honestly happy for you! It`s great to hear that the deal has gone thru! Welcome to the channel FRED! Great times coming! What a awesome choice you have done! Congrats!
Thank you, now I need to start planing we need to put some km on Fred's odometer and start writing his story with me 😁
« Under 10 seconds 0-100 I am satisfied » that’s why we love you Alex and we follow your experiences!
It really is enough for me, sure I like to experience some stupid speed every now and then but for 99.9% of the time this is more then enough.

Thank you! My next purchase, as a second bike, the SRK 125 because I want to get back into practice with the clutch.
Your videos contain good information. I appreciate your posts!
Thank you! 😁
cool videos about the zontes, i want to buy a scooter this year and have 3 in mind, the Zontes, the VOGE sr4 and the Piaggio Beverly 400...
Go for a Zontes 350E 👍🏻🇹🇷
Man, I'm so happy you got it. I really am craving for long scooter trips, that I can to try and replicate in my Cruisym 300i.
Congrats!!
Thank you, and hopefully you get to do some trips 😁
Congratulations! It is a really beautiful bike and looks like the ultimate allrounder scooter!
My thoughts exactly and that's why I couldn't ignore it :))
@@RideWithAlex which one you will recommend, between Zontes E3550,Zontes D350 or new Kymco GT350?
@@nikoladzudovic7879 I bought the 350E so guess which I would recommend?😂😂😂
Great Job Alex, I always watch your videos at once. You are about to convince me to quit my Triumph Tiger 800 for Zontes 350E as my only bike. Greeting from Piraeus, Greece
Go for a test ride and see if it wins you over 😁
Cel mai tare suport de telefon pe care l-am vazut vreodata)))

Hi Alex, thanks a lot for the update! I’m happy with your for this cutie will be your own finally.
Thank you 😁
Sa il stapanesti sanatos si calatorii frumoase!😊
Mulțumesc 😁
awesome video, buying this as my first scooter tomorrow at 20 years old :) thanks for the effort! can you mention both cameras you use in the video?
The outside camera was my phone, S23 Ultra, the helmet camera is a Gopro hero 7 black with a la mic for audio and the dash camera is an Insta360 Go2
And under 4/100km in A busy city. Could be less if u try but that's no fun. The 310m might be a bit faster but the 350e feels and sounds like it has more power.
Thanks for acceleration test.

Super scuterul. Este disponibil la vânzare?
Bineînțeles, test ride cumpărare etc, suna colegii de la vânzări ca ei se ocupa.
I suppose that you had the mapping in S mode snd not in E mode. Correct?
I always keep it in S mode, never bother with E

Salut, scorpion 920 Evo Modulara
odomoter time
1st run 8.2
2nd 7.9
3rd 8.5 [opposite to wind]
They are all estimates, even the phone app is not perfect, for true measurements I would need specialist timing gear, but that is expensive!
I bought a Zontes 350e last year, looking at the front brake caliper the paint has come off, they look like they are 20 years old.
Noted, I'll keep an eye on them 👍
Maybe some Dr pulleys alex 😊 you know they make sense loving your review
Have to try those at some point 😂😂😂
Hi Alex! What is the name of the app you used for the acceleration test?
This one is called car timer but I need to find a better one.
Alex is speed running relibality testing by just putting 5 years of km every year! truely our strongest soldier!
BTW how much do you weigh? (to figure out how much rider's size affect top speed)
I am light as a feather at 110kg 😂😂😂😂

Can't say too much for now, but give me 1-2 weeks 😂
How heavy is it? I wonder if they will be sold in the US?
Keep making the videos!
It's about 200kg or 440lbs

Quadlock 7.0!
What kind of gear oil you use 5w40 or gl5 sae 80w ?
Gl5 85w140, this scooter is going to see a lot of long distance trips so I went with thicker oil, probably going to switch to 80w90 for the winter.
versiunea 350 D nu se vinde in romania? imi place mai mult pentru ca e mai scurt....
Nu, momentan doar M-ul care are acelasi cadru cu D-ul
I want to buy this scooter. I hope i wont make mistake
I need a Fred in my life
Concerning fuel consumption i am always at 4 lt/km in city, never succeeded 3.3 lt/km and in city noone can get this consumption, unless he/she travels in 30-40 km/h
It's probably a lot more economical if you ride right, but half the time it's on test rides soooo 😂😂😂
@@RideWithAlex what is annoying is that the fuel indicator is mostly unreliable! In my previous nh-t worked correctly but with this bike you never know with how much fuel you are left.
@@pppam I noticed it goes on reserve with 3-4L in the tank, but I cam still get 300km out of a tank.
are u ready to ride 368cc to replace for 350cc now?, it all was launched from china, including 368E/D/M/K/G and they also have 703T/R/F/RR.
This 350 is enough for me. Plus it's going to be another year till I see them in person.
Hi is there a way to mount mobile phone
Yes, I have a quad lock brake rezervoir mount.
Why theres a black border inside the TFT screen ?
I don't know what black border you are referring too, but the one in the middle is the Rev counter.
@@RideWithAlex its in the edges, but i think its normal, but kinda weird
