Where did the moped go in My Summer Car and how to get it back: a complete guide

My Summer Car is a game where every element of transport counts, and the loss of even such a modest means of transportation as a moped can result in hours of meaningless searching. If your the moped suddenly disappeared from the usual place, do not rush to panic: in 90% of cases it can be found or restored. But to do this, you need to understand the mechanics of the game, typical bugs and hidden features of the map.

In this article we will analyze all the possible reasons for the disappearance of a moped - from the banal falling into the water to save glitches, and also give step-by-step instructions for searching. You will learn where to look for transport on the map, how to check your saves, and what to do if the moped disappeared without a trace after updating the game. For clarity, we provide screenshots of key locations and a table with the coordinates of “black holes” where equipment is most often lost.

Why a moped may disappear: the main reasons

Disappearance of transport in My Summer Car rarely happens by chance. This is usually a consequence of one of three factors: physics game, saving errors or player actions. Let's look at each case in detail.

The most common reason is moped falling into water or hole. The game does not have a mechanic for “pushing” vehicles out of hard-to-reach places, so if you drive a moped into a swamp near your house or throw it off a cliff, it can go under the textures and become invisible. Also, transport is often lost after high speed accidents — the game’s physics engine sometimes “throws” objects off the map.

• 🔧 Physical bugs: the moped went underground after a collision or fall from a height.
• 💾 Saving errors: The game did not save the position of the vehicle due to a crash or forced closure.
• 🚗 Player actions: the moped was sold, dismantled for parts, or forgotten in a friend’s garage.
• 🔄 Game updates: After the patch, transport coordinates may be reset (especially true for versions before 1.5).

Another insidious feature - vehicle spawn system. If you left the moped too far from home (outside location loading radius), the next time you enter the game it may appear in a random place or disappear altogether. This is due to optimization: the game does not store objects in memory that have not been used for a long time.

Where to look for a moped: map of key locations

If the moped is missing, first of all inspect 5 most likely placeswhere he could have ended up. Use the coordinates from the table below or be guided by visual landmarks (screenshots of locations can be found in the official guide on Steam).

If the moped is not found in these locations, try activate free camera mode (F4 in debug mode) and fly around the map from above. Often vehicles get stuck on the roofs of houses or in walls after bugs with physics. Also check Teemo garage - sometimes the game accidentally teleports other people's vehicles there.

⚠️ Attention: Don't use the command spawn to create a new moped, if the old one has not been removed! This may lead to duplication of transport and even more bugs in saving.

How to restore a moped through saves

If a physical search doesn't yield any results, it's time to dig into the game files. My Summer Car stores saves in the format .json, and they can be edited manually. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

1. Close the game and go to your save folder:

   C:\Users\[Your_user]\AppData\LocalLow\Amistech\My Summer Car

2. Find the file savegame.json (or autosave.json) and make a backup copy of it.
3. Open the file in Notepad++ or VS Code (regular Notepad will not work!).
4. Click Ctrl+F and find the line "moped". If it is not there, the transport is removed from the world.
5. If there is a line, but the coordinates "pos": [0,0,0] — the moped is at the “zero point” (glitch). Correct the coordinates to:

   "pos": [-100, 10, 50]

   (this will spawn him next to the house).

6. Save the file and launch the game.

If there is no mention of a moped in the save file at all, try roll back to an earlier version. To do this:

• 📁 Go to the folder .../My Summer Car/Saves/Backups/.
• 🔍 Find a file with the date when the moped was still in place.
• 🔄 Copy it to your main save folder, replacing the current one savegame.json.

Make a backup of the file savegame.json|

Check last saved date|

Make sure the game is closed|

Use a text editor with syntax highlighting (Notepad++/VS Code)|

Do not change other parameters except the coordinates of the moped-->

Bugs with transport: how to prevent loss in the future

Some moped disappearances are linked to system bugsthat can be prevented. Here is a list of the most insidious glitches and ways to get around them:

• 🚲 "Teleportation" when saving: If you save the game while sitting on a moped, it may disappear. Always dismount from your vehicle before saving!
• 💥 Engine explosion: If the moped overheats, it can burn to ashes and disappear. Follow oil temperature (optimally 60-80°C).
• 🔄 Mod conflict: Transport mods (for example, Moped Tuning Mod) sometimes reset spawn. Check version compatibility.
• 🖥️ Crash games: If the game crashes while riding, the moped may freeze in memory. Restart your PC before logging in again.

Pay special attention fashion. For example, popular Multiplayer Mod known for bugs with synchronizing vehicles between players. If you are playing with friends, disable moped sharing in the mod settings:

[Multiplayer]
ShareVehicles=false

Also avoid long trips outside the map. If you travel too far from home (beyond 500 meters in a straight line), the game may reset the position of the vehicle on the next save. Use map with safe zone radius (it can be found at Reddit on topic r/MySummerCar).

What to do if the moped constantly disappears

If the loss of transportation has become systemic, the problem runs deeper. Here is the algorithm of actions for diagnostics and solutions:

1. Check the integrity of the game files:
   • Open Steam → Library → My Summer Car → Properties → Local files → Integrity check....
   • Wait for it to complete (may take up to 10 minutes).

If all else fails, last chance - complete reset of progress. To do this:

1. Remove all files from the folder .../My Summer Car/Saves/.
2. Launch the game and it will create a new save.
3. Enter in the console (~) command:

   spawn moped

   to get a new moped.

⚠️ Attention: After resetting your progress you will lose all built objects, money and transport. Use this method only if the moped disappears in everyone new save!

Alternative methods of transportation if the moped is lost forever

If you were unable to return the moped, do not despair: My Summer Car There are plenty of alternative ways to get around. Here TOP-5 replacements with pros and cons of each:

• 🚗 Satsuma: Reliable, but requires fuel and repairs. Suitable for long trips.
• 🚜 Tractor: Slow, but goes anywhere. You can tow other vehicles.
• 🛵 Bicycle: Free, but tiring for long journeys. Easily breaks.
• 🚤 Boat: Useful for moving across water (for example, to an island with treasure).
• 🚶 Walking: The most reliable method, but time-consuming. Use running (Shift) on flat areas.

If you urgently need transportation, try steal a car from an NPC. For example, Ruscko often leaves his Gifu unattended outside the store. To steal a car:

1. Approach the car when no one is nearby.
2. Click Eto get into the driver's seat.
3. If the car is locked, find master key in the garage or buy from Fleetari Repair Shop.

You can also buy new transport at Teimo or Fleetari, but this will require money. The cheapest option is bike for 200€, but it often breaks. If you need reliability, save for Satsuma (from 5000€).
