Moped response, performance, and accident avoidance capabilities are assessed. Moped design features are reviewed. Four instrumented vehicles were evaluated. Full scale tests included steady turn, lane change, free control stability, roadway disturbances, open and closed loop braking, acceleration/top speed, and hill climb. Two wheeler test procedures and measures are presented, along with subjective evaluations. Sensitivity to operating variables are quantified. Potential safety-related handling problems were identified. A typical moped was modified for increased speed performance, and upgraded brake and tire components.
