Mopeds are a type of low-powered motorcycle designed to provide economical and relatively safe transport with minimal licensing requirements. Mopeds were once all equipped with bicycle-like pedals. In most countries, the legal driving age for a moped is lower than for regular motorcycles and cars. Mopeds are typically restricted to 50 km/h from a maximum engine power of 49 cc. Moped is a fuel efficient vehicle, ideal for small towns where traffic is relatively smooth.
