According to the RA law "On Road Safety" Moped is:

Explanation

A moped is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with an engine displacement of not more than 50 cc and a maximum speed of not more than 50 km/h.

Both figures must hold at once: the engine displacement must not exceed 50 cc and the maximum speed must not go above 50 km/h. If either condition is breached, the vehicle is no longer a moped and falls into the motorcycle class. This boundary is not an arbitrary number; it is the dividing point to which licence classification, age limits, registration and insurance requirements and the ban on entering motorways are all tied. The same 50 cc limit marks the lightest class of powered vehicles in the European standard, so the Armenian figure is consistent with what you see in most countries of the region.

This is one of the purely numerical exam questions, and its trap is the 60 and 70 options, which merely shift the number. An easy way to memorise it: in a moped both numbers are the same, and both are 50.

• It raises the figures to 60 cc and 60 km/h; such a vehicle exceeds the moped limit and counts as a motorcycle. • 70 cc and 70 km/h are entirely outside the legal limit for a moped.
