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?

In Italy you can ride a moped at 14, but can’t drive a car until 18. Therefore a lot of teens drive mopeds.
In the US you can drive a car at 16, and there is a big teen driving culture.
Plus there’s the cost of fuel, which is much cheaper in the US than in Europe
