The Scooter King*.

Mopeds have pedals.

The word "moped" is literally a portmanteau of motor and pedal. Its pretty fair to call it out.

In NYC it's hard enough to get people not to call them e-bikes (even when they are gas powered), I've given up on the scooter distinction (which then also becomes ambiguous with what I can only call "kick-scooters", most of which are not kick-powered these days).

fwiw, Google kills a small part of me every time their captcha asks me to identify the motorcycle but shows me scooters and/or mopeds.

This is an absolutely insane way to present a website on a desktop computer.

Do you mean the typical scrolling-isn't-consistent stuff, or how the pictures and the text don't stay within the same column-boundaries?

One reason I don't have an electrical-assist bike is that I don't have anywhere to store it that meets the competing demands of (A) secure against theft and (B) decently safe if it catches fire.

Many have detachable batteries - you could get a fire safe bag/cabinet to charge the battery in if that is a worry and store the bike wherever meets your (A) requirements.
