It's linguistic evolution; are there any new mopeds with pedals on sale in the UK?
I sometimes call my NIU a scooter but there's the likelihood that people will think it's a thing with tiny wheels that one stands on and propels with one foot. At other times I call it a moped although it has no pedals and reaches speeds greater than 30 MPH.
Language changes; is the name 'fridge' short for 'Frigidaire' or 'refrigerator'?
I get out my Vax vacuum-cleaner to hoover the carpet.
I hereby christen my new NIU a 'min-e-scooter'
