Should the design of the moped limit its speed?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. Yes, up to 45 km/h
Explanation
The question is about the design speed limit of a moped. The design of a moped should limit its speed to 45 km/h - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act defines a moped as a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle with a combustion engine with a capacity of no more than 50 cm3 or an electric motor with a power of no more than 4 kW, whose design limits its speed to 45 km/h. A vehicle without such a limit is not a moped (answer A is wrong), but for example a motorcycle, which requires a different category of driving licence. The value of 40 km/h (answer B) is the speed limit for a moped carrying a child up to 7 years old, not a design limit. Modifications that remove the speed limiter are illegal.
Legal basis: Art. 2 point 46 and Art. 20 para. 6 point 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
