Mopeds for America! : Hello, I have begun to type this paper ,but for what reason you ask? Why, to spread joy, prosperity and savings to America. What joy is this you ask? Why, the moped of course! Now before you decide that mopeds are lame and decide that this document is not worth my time. Allow me to enlighten you. Now I know what you’re thinking why a scooter? Well scooters are lightweight, cheap, fashionable, fuel efficient, and practical (unless if it snows year round). A lot of people are turned off by vehicles with two wheels and that makes sense, “I want the security of a car”; but smaller vehicles really are safer, you’re less likely to get into an accident and those who do so are foolish.

They have a plastic shell and are designed to be used for moving around your city, or other cities but highway travel can be an issue, being that you will get ran over… They have a two-four stroke engine with 8-15 Horse Power, they are incredibly maneuverable come in a variety of sizes shapes and colors and are highly customizable.

There is the feminine factor to a moped which I think is non-existent, but the stereotypical moped engine sounds like a tea kettle (not true) and it has a feminine horn, but these mopeds are beautiful pieces of machinery. Mopeds are primarily used in Europe but are catching on in the United States and have many
