The difference (in my day) was a moped was more akin to a bicycle or small motorbike. A scooter had much smaller wheels, and no oily bits on show. Well a moped is actually a moterbike that can be peddaled hence the name motor-pedal so that's pretty much a fixed description. Scooters aren't designed to be manually driven via pedals. Mopeds could also be driven at a younger age, due to being pedal cycles with an engine added. Scooters never had this option. I don't think that is true unless yuo;re refering to unpowered scooters. I beg to differ, a moped could be ridden at 16 whereas a scooter or motorcycle rider had to be 17. I may be wrong but I think the Yamaha FS1E changed all that, it had pedals which were purely for ornamental use and due to some new alloy Yamaha developed, it had a top speed of 80 MPH. A very popular device in my younger days and despite the vast increase in experience it provided the medical profession and undertakers in the effects of blunt force trauma, the devices were put beyond the reach of learners. AB People also ask How old do you have to be to ride a scooter? If you're 16 years of age or older, and if your moped is not capable of driving faster than 20 MPH, you can ride without a license. To operate a motorized scooter you must be at least 16 years old and carry either an instruction permit or driver's license. |

I'm biased! But at least you don't have to pay £145 pa to listen to me! Internet costs quite a bit more than £145 pa. But if you were an MEP we'd be paying you a lot more than that. Owain |
