    Moped (UK) scooter (US) don’t have pedals, they’re gas or electric twist to go. You can get bikes that are in the form factor of a moped.

      ah ok. im from the us. Its actually sorta funny because I think moped was used here for gas engine things with pedals but then if its electric its just called an electric bike. I also think the term sorta fell out of the language sometime during the nineties.

      I always called those motor bikes with the pedals mopeds, and the ones without pedals “vespa scooters” (USA)
