What does MOPED mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, low-powered two-wheeled vehicle, lighter than a motorcycle and often needing no full licence to ride.
The word moped is a Swedish blend of motor and pedal, coined for an early bicycle fitted with a small engine that could still be pedalled if the motor failed. Modern mopeds have dropped the pedals in most countries but keep the small engine and low top speed, which is why many places still let a moped be ridden with a lighter licence than a full motorcycle.
