Well ... the definitions are very fuzzy (this is just so that you are aware that there is potential for conflict): mopeds* are in general just low displacement motorcycles, historically with pedals , but that is typically no longer a legal requirement. For example there are scooters that fall in this class. Mofas on the other hand, where the class exists, typically have a requirement for pedals (adding pedelecs in to the mix just makes things more complicated so leaving that away for now).
Obviously a moped without pedals is fairly dead when the motor isn't running :-) Simon * just to confuse things in Germany it is colloquially quite common to refer to any motorcycle as "moped" (even my 1300cc beemer) Am 02.12.2015 um 10:13 schrieb Paul Johnson: > On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 9:30 AM, Simon Poole <si...@poole.ch > <mailto:si...@poole.ch>> wrote: > > > I've changed the relevant tags to moped=no.
