Have you ever driven a moped?  I hear they have less stringent licensing requirements than other motorcycles
I have not driven a moped, but do have a motorcycle.  Yeah, I do believe that mopeds have less restrictions.  Isn't it based of the engine CC size.
I read it is because they typically travel about the same speed as bicycles on public roads
Oh, I did not know that.  They seem ideal for city settings.  Have you driven one before?
no I haven't either.  I guess it says that by definition Mopeds are driven by both an engine and bicycle pedals but in common usage the term is used for "scooter" as well
What do you mean by being driven by bicycle pedals?
Well it says that some resemble a motorized bicycle with pedals and a crankset that may be used with or instead of motor drive.
