Why does the United States of America not have a moped culture?

1.02K viewsOther

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?

Our population density outside of a few cities is not that dense. Where there is significant density, e.g. NYC, there are good low cost metro options negating the need for something like a moped.

Honestly, I’d be concerned with my safety. There are way too many bad drivers in 3-Ton SUVs driving around that would barely flinch if they ran me over.
