An e-bike with pedal assist requires you to pedal so you get at least some exercise out from it. E-mopeds are also much heaver than e-bikes and may not be allowed (depending on jurisdiction) on all bike paths. They are also locked at their 25 km/h top speed, while e-bikes can go faster if you pedal.
- morganw 8y ago> 25 km/h top speed In California, mopeds can go 30 MPH (48.3km/h). I think it's 25 or 30 in most US states. The GenZe has 4 horsepower which is the CA limit (used to be 2) but some states only specify displacement as 49cc or less. http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH§ionNum=406 http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.... Mopeds are also allowed in bike lanes in CA, though police & cyclists don't seem to know this.

US doesn't have the equivalent of a German Mofa (25km/h) only Mokick (45km/h) https://smartexpat.com/germany/how-to-guides/transport/driving/motorbikes-mopeds https://smartexpat.com/germany/how-to-guides/transport/drivi... Though the stand-up scooters in CA do happen to have a 15 MPH limit.
