Pasaules Malu
My name is Reinis Felders. I’m preparing for an unusual adventure — a roughly three-week journey by moped to the northernmost point in Europe: North Cape, Norway.
The moped is a Rīga 13 — a Soviet-era machine around 40 years old. Last year I rode the same moped from Gulbene through Estonia and back. That adventure reached nearly 400,000 views on TikTok in a single week.
This year the challenge is bigger: harsher (winter) conditions, a distance four times longer (~1,700 km), and a true test of endurance for both man and machine.
Departure: 29th April — Starting point: Rovaniemi, Finland (Santa Claus Village)

The best way to support this trip is to grab a piece of Rīga 13 merch. Every purchase helps keep the old Soviet moped rolling toward Nordkapp — and back. Hoodies, caps, and tees available at ridzina.lv.
