    In Denmark, a mofa is a 25 kmh limited moped-style vehicle and a license can be acquired extremely easily and at a younger age than other licenses. It is treated almost like a bicycle in traffic in that it shares most laws and goes on the bicycle paths. A moped is 45 kmh limited and requires a far more expensive license. They are explicitly not allowed on bicycle paths and follow rules more akin to a motorcycle.

    Historically, mofas used to not require a license and were smaller with pedals connected to the rear axle. Now mofas have no pedals and are just mopeds with a much lower speed limit.
