The speed of moped cars and “tractors” is limited by law, not physics.
Moped cars are very similar to the kei cars that I have seen.
Swedish tractors are something else: I have seen 15 year olds driving Porsche “tractors” in Sweden.
- Dah00n 5y agoI don't agree that they are in any way related. It's like saying a SUV is like a real truck. Sure if the SUV is big and the truck is tiny. Those "moped cars" are more closely related to a bicycle than a car.
- formerly_proven 5y agoThey look similar but are very different. Moped cars have essentially lawn mower engines in them, 3-6 kW or something like that (the limit is 50 cc iirc). Kei cars have around 50 kW engines (with probably more than one cylinder), which is very much "real car" territory.
- willvarfar 5y agoMoped cars can be 500cc and some models are sold in other countries limited to 80kph. They remind me of kei cars. They aren’t kei cars. The biggest difference apart from two seats is noise; moped cars in Sweden have a weight limit of 350kg and there is zero sound proofing!
