What is a Moped?
2 Answers
Mopeds are classified as motor vehicles and belong to the motorcycle category, which should be driven on motor vehicle lanes. Here is expanded information about mopeds: Speed of Mopeds: Regardless of the driving method, the maximum designed speed of a moped should not exceed 50km/h. If powered by an internal combustion engine, the displacement should not exceed 50mL; if powered by electricity, the total rated output power of the motor should not exceed 4kW. Is a Helmet Required When Riding a Moped? Article 51 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates that motorcycle riders must wear helmets as required, and this applies to moped riders as well.
Light motorcycles refer to those small motorcycles with an engine displacement below 50cc, such as scooters or mopeds. They are generally not very fast, with a top speed of around 50 kilometers per hour, and are particularly lightweight and convenient to ride. I often navigate through the city and find these little things fuel-efficient and agile, much easier than cars for avoiding traffic congestion and parking is a breeze. However, the engine is a bit small, so it might struggle on steep slopes, and long-distance travel is out of the question. Nowadays, electric versions are becoming popular—charging is hassle-free, environmentally friendly, and they produce less noise. Overall, they are suitable for commuting or leisure riding, not for seeking thrills.
