I’m visiting Italy and floored by the number of mopeds. Found the same thing in Vietnam. Having spent time in New York, Chicago, St Louis, Seattle, Miami and lots in Orlando, I’ve never seen anything like this in the USA. Is there a cultural reason or economic reason the USA prefers motorcycles over mopeds?

When I visited Barcelona for the first time in 2013 I was smitten with their scooter culture. I bought one as soon as I got back for using around the city (Philly). It always bugged me that it was seen as a boujie luxury here instead of a much more affordable alternative to a car. The only thing I’ll say is that e-bikes are kind of changing the mentality around that kind of thing and you see them a lot, kind of being treated as the same as mopeds in European cities.
