Mopes are a class of low-powered motorized vehicles, generally two-wheeled. A Moped is driven in an upright position with the rider's back at a right angle to the seat. Moped classification is designed to allow the use of small motorised vehicles, avoiding the safety restrictions and license requirement of larger motorcycles. Some motorized bicycles, small scooters, and small motorcycles fit the definition of a moped. In many countriesmicrocars like Aixam and Piaggio Ape are classified as mopeds because of their low top speed and small capacity engine.
