motoneta

Explanation:
s.f. Motocicleta de pequena cilindrada, mas de quadro aberto, de forma que o condutor vai sentado e não a cavalo. (A primeira motoneta surgiu na Inglaterra em 1907, mas deixou de ser fabricada por volta de 1920. Depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial, surgiram os modelos italianos Lambretta e Vespa, que se tornaram muito populares no Brasil.)

Example sentence(s):

Trata-se de um veículo mais simples, que se enquadra mais na categoria de bicicleta motorizada do que de motoneta ou "scooter".

mobilete, motoneta

Explanation:
Se você viveu no Brasil nos anos 80-90, ceramente se recorda desses veículos. O termo "moped" aplica-se ao que chamamos mobilete, uma moto pequena com motor de poucos cavalos, geralmente de uso lúdico e nao exatamente para transporte. mas em determinados países como Itália e Grécial, a mobilete é bastante popular como uma alternativa ao tráfego excessivo.

Explanation:
Sug.

- Mopeds are a class of low-powered motorized vehicles, generally two-wheeled. Moped classification is designed to allow the use of small motorised vehicles, avoiding the safety restrictions and licensing charges required of larger motorcycles. Some motorized bicycles, small scooters, and small motorcycles fit the definition of a moped. In many countries[citation needed] microcars like Aixam and Piaggio Ape are classified as mopeds because of their low top speed and small capacity engine.

In legal literature, mopeds are normally defined by limits on engine displacement, speed, power output, transmissions, or the requirement of pedals. In some countries, the legal driving age for a moped is lower than for larger motorcycles, and consequently mopeds are popular among the youth. Typically, mopeds are restricted to 30-75 km/h (18-47 mph) and engines less than 100 cc. Some localities require pedals, thus making them a form of hybrid vehicle, using both human power and machine power. Because of their small size, many jurisdictions consider them "limited speed motorcycle."

- Brazil
In Brazil, the definition of moped ("ciclomotor" in portuguese, but also known as either "mobylette", "vespa", "lambreta" or still "motoneta") and the regulations regarding its use has been varying throughout the years. From 1985 to 1997, a moped was defined as human propulsion vehicle aided by an engine displacing less than 50 cc, no more than 3 hp (2.2 kW), having a maximum speed of no more than 50 km/h (31 mph) and having pedals similar to those found in a bicycle. No license was required.

- Motorcycles are produced with both two-stroke- and four-stroke-cycle engines and with up to four cylinders. Most are air-cooled, though a few are water-cooled. Engines are generally limited to displacements of about 1,800 cc. The smallest designs, termed mopeds (from “motor pedal”), have very small engines (50 cc) with fuel economies of as much as 2.4 litres per 100 km (100 miles per gallon). Such…
