caption_attribution_description: I don't know how they let this in here. A reminder, however, that everyone has to start somewhere. I think this old Honda was the first "motorcycle" that the company produced. It probably got 90 or 100 miles per gallon, but only went 25 or 30 mph.
context_page_description: The term moped originally referred to a type of small motorcycle with both a motorcycle engine and bicycle pedals, generally having a less stringent licensing requirement than full motorcycles or automobiles. The term is now often used to mean a similar vehicle except with no pedals. Mopeds typically travel only a bit faster than bicycles on public roads. Mopeds are distinguished from scooters in that the latter tend to be more powerful and subject to more regulation.
  Some mopeds have a step-through frame design, while others have motorcycle frame designs, including a backbone and a raised fuel tank, mounted directly between the saddle and the head tube. Some resemble motorized bicycles. Most are similar to a regular motorcycle but with pedals and a crankset that may be used with or instead of motor drive. Although mopeds usually have two wheels, some jurisdictions classify low-powered three- or four-wheeled vehicles as a moped.
  In some countries a moped can be any motorcycle with an engine capacity below 50cc.
