Hi FrozenK,

Not sure why you are calling an electric assist a moped? If you don't pedal you fall down just like any other bike. There's no throttle. Assisted bikes take normal pedal power and divide it in half I would say. Assisted bikes are legal on mountain bike trails. There are some electric bikes that are not legal which are have really large motors and a throttle that does not require you to pedal. Maybe that's what you are thinking of.
