Scooter and Mopeds

[sholay]

what's the difference between a scooter and a moped?

[PhilBy]

Some scooters are now defined as mopeds. Originally a moped was a small motorcycle fitted with peddles. Now it can be a scooter or motorcycle up to 50cc that can not exceed 30mph.

Click for definition of a moped. Anything other than this can be either a motorcycle or a scooter depending on styling. Some people class "superscooters" like the Honda Silverwing as a touring motorcycle. That's a grey area but the definition of a moped is absolute.
