You can ride a moped, people ride them in the bicycle lanes in Amsterdam. Though I think that's a little unsafe for everyone else.

I would add Amsterdam is one of the easiest cities to get around in, I don't know why you would exclude public transport as an option as it is clean and efficient there.

As of this year, mopeds can no longer ride on bicycle lanes: https://nltimes.nl/2019/04/08/amsterdams-scooter-ban-bike-pa...
I love that in Amsterdam, they don't have motorcycle gangs, but they have scooter gangs.
We do have a motorcycle gang: the Hell's Angels. They used to have a city-funded club house until the city got sick of their criminal connections and found weapons in a couple of raids. Not entirely sure what the status is at the moment. (Though it's entirely possible they started out as a moped gang in the early 1970s.)
It’s indeed a kind of person who tend to ride scooters....
