    Your argument might make sense if there wasn’t the higher power powered motorcycles without regulation…

    Motorcycle- no max speed or horsepower and requires maximum amount of regulations

    Moped - less horsepower and less regulations

    Motorized bicycle - even lower hp/speed with minimal regulations

    Companies keep trying to blur the lines between motorized bicycles and mopeds instead of giving Americans the usable commuter mopeds that exist in other countries like India.

      usable commuter mopeds

      You’re talking about 125cc bikes like Honda Airblade, Wave or Activa, that do 55mph stock?

      Those are the exact things that blur the line between scooter and motorcycle. IMO the american equivalent would need to go a bit faster to be safe on highways.
