I enjoy riding moped's and own a pink one. It's is a small motorcycle
I've seen mopeds in movies and TV shows, but never in real life. I didn't realize they are motorized!
Yes they are and very easy to ride. They generally having a less stringent licensing requirement than motorcycles
I wonder why that is? Are they much slower than motorcycles?
Its because they  typically travel about the same speed as bicycles on public roads.
