das Moped, -s

moped

The German word "Moped" is a noun that refers to a small motorized two-wheeler, similar to a motorbike but with a smaller engine and often equipped with pedals.

  • It is made from the combination of "motor" and "pedal" (though these are English roots, the word is used in German).

Similar words:

  • Motorroller (scooter)
  • Motorrad (motorcycle)
  • Fahrrad (bicycle)

Differences:

  • A Moped has a small engine (usually up to 50cc) and pedals, whereas a Motorrad refers to bigger, faster motorcycles without pedals.

  • A Fahrrad is purely pedal-powered, with no motor.
