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?

I think this went on a tangent. I probably didn’t make this clear enough but what I’m asking is why we chose (USA) chooses motorcycles over mopeds. I’ve never driven either. A lot of the comments are about weather and distances so for reference, I’m in Rome a city with 4.3m people. Easily bigger than most American cities. I’ve stood on street corners waiting for a bus and easily fifty mopeds go by in minutes. In the US I’ve never seen fifty mopeds in one place ever.
So what I’m asking is why do Americans choose motorcycles over mopeds? Is it an aesthetic? Do they not sell them here?
