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?

They’re only viable for relatively short distances, only during certain seasons, and of those seasons you can use one it’s only when it isn’t raining.
Also I grew up playing grand theft auto where mopeds were lovingly renamed “faggios”. Mopeds never had a chance in North America. I drive 25km one way for work. I’m not doing that on a faggio.
PS I won’t be surprised if this gets automodded outta here.
