Help Support Dave’s Scooter Record!

$5,300 of $8,000 goal
Given by 34 generous donors in around 7 months

Insanity on two wheels!

Bay of Plenty

My name is Dave Macleod and since 2010 I have been travelling the world, crossing off items from my bucket list. I’m originally from Canada but have been living in New Zealand since 2013. However, my next adventure is going to take me far away from NZ and push me to my limits. In June, I will fly to Munich, Germany to finalise my preparations to break a world record. Over three months, I will travel more than 20,000 km, through nearly every country in Europe… on a 50 cc scooter! This is all to achieve another item on my bucket list, #47 Set a World Record.

From the moment this idea entered my mind, I have been gripped by this adventure. However, I was not ready for the financial impact that it would have on my life. Between my training in NZ and the cost of the adventure overseas, it will cost more than $75,000. Pile that on top of taking four months off work, and it has become quite a feat just to save for this record attempt. As such, I have created this page to help support my adventure.

Regardless of whether you are able to donate, I hope you find entertainment in following my adventure. Every day will be GPS tracked via the links on my website. This page also has all the details of my route, so you can look ahead to see where I am going!

Thank you so much for considering this.

Never stop searching for the next adventure!

Use of funds

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
