I speak American, Southern style. That's called English, too. However........

> Scooters (usually without the 'motor', though a scooter is also used for the childrens' 'skateboard with handlebars') assuming you mean a step-through with small wheels, faring, covered engine at the back and the simplified controls (and space under the seat to store your lid: cf Vespas). A step-through with large wheels and a small (uncovered) engine is a moped (cf Honda C90). Where they merge is open to interpretation.

Hey! You really know your scooters! I have a Vespa, a Honda moped, a Benelli, several Cushman's, etc.
I remember seeing Lambretta scooters in London many moons ago.
