Remember this!
Moped and scooter are both small, lightweight vehicles that are fuel-efficient and easy to maneuver. However, the difference between them lies in their design, speed, engine, license requirements, and usage. A moped has pedals to assist the engine, a smaller engine displacement, and a maximum speed of around 30 mph. It is often used for short trips or commuting. On the other hand, a scooter has a platform for the rider's feet, a larger engine displacement, and a higher maximum speed of up to 60 mph or more. It can be used for short or long rides and for recreational purposes as well.
