Is a scooter a moped?

Mopeds used to be different from scooters in that they were partially powered by pedals that the rider operated, rather than the motor alone. Though some of these mopeds are still around, they are not largely used. Modern mopeds are instead defined by their engine size, speed, and output, all smaller than what the average scooter offers. So, while they are very similar vehicles, mopeds are usually classified separately.

How much does a moped cost?

There are many different mopeds on the market, though a brand new mid-range street legal one, such as a Honda NPS50 Zoomer 50CC, can cost around £2,400. Used mopeds can be picked up for well under £1,000.

How fast can a moped go?

Mopeds, by most definitions, are vehicles with engines no bigger than 50cc, which offers them a top speed of 35mph.

What are the best mopeds?

Since mopeds are limited in their speed, which amongst them is the “best” is often defined by comfort, reliability, handling, ease of riding, and so on. Though best is subjective, one of the most highly rated mopeds is the Yamaha Aerox 4, the latest in the Aerox series, known for a smooth four-stroke motor, high spec handling and good construction.
