What's the difference between a scooter and a moped?
A scooter has two wheels, a motor, handlebars, and a floorboard that you can stand on while riding it. Scooters do not need to be registered but they do require a driver's license. A moped is a motor-driven cycle that has two to three wheels and an engine smaller than 149CC. These must be registered and require a motorcycle license.
