In 60s/70s France 14 year olds could ride motorised bicycles, so Vespa sold a Pedalo - a regular (but lower-powered I think) Vespa scooter with pedals as well as 2-stroke engine - you had to put the engine in neutral to pedal (I bet not many 14 year olds did this).

Here’s a picture of that Vespa with pedals for anyone else interested in seeing it: https://www.museopiaggio.it/en/models/1-vespa/25-50-pedali-v...

Isn't that what a moped is?

Whole terminology is pretty mixed up and messy. Moped is that, but then again speed limited scooters like Vespa without the pedals could also be moped. And so could speed and engine limited motorcycle of other style...

In general I understand moped as anything with limited speed/engine size.
