This cracks me up more than anything.

I'm not talking about a moped.
Actually, that is exactly what you are talking about
:
mo·ped
ˈmōˌped
noun: moped; plural noun: mopeds
a low-power, lightweight motorized bicycle.
Origin
1950s: from Swedish, from ( trampcykel med) mo(tor och) ped(aler ) ‘pedal cycle with motor and pedals.’
Why so much self-hatred and denial amongst the moped lovers?! Take mtb_addict's advice:
