For example, a 150cc scooter has a top speed of 60 mph and may get up to 70 mpg, while a 250cc scooter can reach 75 mph but might get fewer than 60 mpg. However, you may not be able to use a scooter on the freeway. Check with your local DMV regarding size or horsepower minimums.

Small 50cc scooters are handy for short urban commutes, however, their 30mph top speed means they aren't ideal for faster roads or longer distances. A 125cc scooter provides more oomph to keep up with traffic on busier roads, with a top speed of around 60mph. This makes them very versatile.

Buying an electric moped can be a worthwhile investment, offering numerous benefits such as environmental friendliness, cost savings, and convenience. However, it's essential to evaluate factors like range, performance, and charging infrastructure to ensure it meets your specific needs.

Moped riders experience a higher crash rate compared to motorcyclists, though motorcycle accidents tend to be more severe, especially at higher speeds and during night or weekends.

Mopeds are normally slower. People try simple ways to make them faster and they break down quicker because of it. I would estimate they last 500 to 3000 miles before they break down. Both scooters and mopeds are great bikes for riding around town and should not be ridden 10000 - 40000 miles either.

Nonetheless, any motorcycle with over 40,000 miles has high mileage. With proper care and driving, a motorcycle's engine may last for more than 80,000 miles before it needs to be replaced.
