moped

Wandered around dejected

A moped is a low-powered motorized bicycle, typically with pedals and a small engine under 50cc.

The word blends "motor" and "pedal." Mopeds occupy a middle ground between bicycles and motorcycles, often requiring less licensing than full motorcycles: She commutes on a moped to save on gas.

Separately, moped is the past tense of mope.
