A moped is an extremely poor substitute for a gas powered car on just about every measure I can think of. A substitute for a bicycle or walking as means of commuting, perhaps. A viable substitute for a gas powered car must perform the same functions car drivers consider important and do so either better or cheaper (or both). Otherwise, it will never replace it except by force.

I know of one, less than bright, motorcycle shop turning down 35 requests a day.
They seem to think bringing on a new franchise is an extremely lengthy and cumbersome process. -g-
