I think for new mopeds they should be required to be electric starting 2026.

Mopeds don't need big batteries and the batteries can be taken out and charged at home.

It's really the perfect vehicle to electrify. Yes, it will make them slightly more expensive at start but it will remove a huge burden of noise and smell from the communities.

Modern E-bikes can definitely compete with mopeds, and I think will ultimately replace them, once cost starts to go down. The majority of the mopeds on the roads in most places and 20+ years old and likely in use because they are so easy to keep running. I think it was the first thing I learned how to fix as a kid.

I haven’t seen a moped in NYC in, I think, years. Delivery guys all drive electric bikes, electric scooters or ICE scooters. None of them are a noise issue.

I live on a main road but have good double glazing.

However, there are a few things I can still hear:

* Sirens - though these are relatively infrequent and necessary so I don't mind them.

* People playing music extremely loudly. I can feel the bass vibrations even though I'm more than 10 metres from the road.

* Lorries with unbalanced loads.

* Motorbikes/mopeds with modified exhausts.
