> 25 km/h top speed

In California, mopeds can go 30 MPH (48.3km/h). I think it's 25 or 30 in most US states. The GenZe has 4 horsepower which is the CA limit (used to be 2) but some states only specify displacement as 49cc or less.

Mopeds are also allowed in bike lanes in CA, though police & cyclists don't seem to know this.

edit: did some more research. US doesn't have the equivalent of a German Mofa (25km/h) only Mokick (45km/h) https://smartexpat.com/germany/how-to-guides/transport/drivi...

Though the stand-up scooters in CA do happen to have a 15 MPH limit.
