If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

    And what about the smell and sound of cars?

      Not as bad from my perception. Though I’m not arguing in favour of cars. I just think mopeds are a strange mobility option to adore. Good public transportation + cycling infrastructure is much more adorable. In the Netherlands, the mopeds are a menace to the safety, quiet, and air quality in cities.

        For real, a. E-assist bike seems like it solves most of the same problems a moped does, but much more elegantly.
