Moped Accidents

As mopeds and scooters increase in popularity, so do the chances of accidents. Other drivers must be especially careful while driving among motorized bikes and scooters. Unlike cars, which offer the protection of crumple zones, seatbelts, and other types of safety features, mopeds are far more exposed and vulnerable in the event of a collision.

Texas defines any scooter with an engine larger than 50cc as a motorcycle, while any vehicle with a 50cc engine or less is categorized as a moped. The majority of accidents involving motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters occur at intersections. Car and truck drivers must be on high alert at all times, especially while crossing intersections, since they may not see a moped while making a left turn or other type of maneuver.

Getting rear-ended by a car because the driver did not keep enough distance between vehicles.

Texas law states that moped drivers must adhere to current helmet laws and operate their vehicles only on roadways while under the speed limit of 30 mph.
