Twist and go scooter Explanation: As a scooter rider for over 50 years now, the term "moped" slightly irritates me when applied to those without pedals. Two of my favourite mopeds over the years were a Vespino and an old Mobylette, both of which you could pedal if the engine failed. However, I have also had several Vespas - none of which had pedals per se, although they did have gears. Nowadays, I have 300 mL Kymco Scooter, which is a twist and go - in other words, no gear changes required, you just twist the accelerator and away you go. Perfect on a hot summers day like today… :-) https://www.quora.com/Are-twist-and-go-scooters-boring-to-ri... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-06-26 09:35:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Having said that, if the translation text is for official or quasi-official purposes, then "moped" or "gearless scooter" may be more appropriate in the context. "Twist and go" is a more marketing or user-oriented term. Example sentence(s):
