People often confuse mopeds and scooters with each other, when they are quite different. Both are small motorized vehicles that operate on two wheels, but this is where the similarities end. So what is a moped, really, and why are scooters so different?

Lets define a moped first. A moped is a bicycle-type vehicle, equipped with pedals and a low-powered motor, which provides an budget friendly form of transportation. The term moped derived from the words motorized-pedal. The bicycle-like pedals that the rider uses to propel the vehicle and to start its helper motor. Defining A Scooter is just as simple. A Motor-scooters, are distinguishable by its step-through and footrest platform. They are typically powered by a small motor with displacements ranging from 50 cc to 650 cc. Now there are 3 main differences. Lets explore them:

1st - Technical Differences: Mopeds and scooters both use small motors for propulsion. However, a moped's motor is designed to assist the rider when pedaling and provides only a portion of the locomotive power. A scooter uses its motor to provide all of the propulsion, all the time.

2nd - Legal Differences: Most states classify mopeds as motorized bicycles and do not require the moped to be registered. However, the rider must have a valid driver's license. Scooters are classified as a motorcycle, requiring registration, motorcycle-endorsed licenses, and in some states, insurance.

3rd - Cultural Differences: People in the moped community, do not associate themselves as people who ride scooters and will get annoyed if you say otherwise. However on the opposite end. A person who rides a scooter will refer to themselves as someone rides mopeds.
