I never get the first one and rarely the second one. If it says to click all the squares with motorcycles and it’s just the one big picture, am I supposed to click stuff like the tire and mirrors? I always do and never get it right. Then most of the time they ask me to identify motorcycles, they show me motor scooters and what am I supposed to do then? I think I just need to get one of these bots to do it for me.
Fwiw they aren't really asking about the motorcycle. I mean they are but they are washing your mouse movements and how fast you click through the images. It's okay to get a few images wrong.
Not quite.
It's mostly wisdom of the crowd, as it always has been.
As long as you mostly click the same squares most other people click, you pass.
You often at random get 2-3 images because 2 of them are actual checks, but the third is a new image that you auto pass and they're using it to gather data on what the average clicks are on it.
A motor scooter is a motorcycle in the eyes of the law.
Not everywhere.
Where I am, you need a special license to drive a motorcycle, classified as having an engine of 51ccs or more, whereas a scooter is any motorcycle with a less than 51ccs and doesn't require a special license.
That's a moped, a motor scooter is just a style of bike.
Mopeds are similar but have pedals and can be used as a bicycle. The name itself, Mo-Ped" is a portmanteau for motor and pedal.
Motor scooters are different in that they have a cut out for the rider's legs/ feet so they don't have to straddle it the same way they would with a motorcycle. Both mopeds and motor scooters do not require a license endorsement here, while motorcycles, as defined in my original comment, do.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moped
The definition in most countries is less than 50cc and a maximum power output, they do not need to have pedals. Anything over 50cc is a motorbike.
So a moped with a 49cc engine, astep-through design, and no pedals is a moped but a scooter with a step-through design and 49cc engine is a motorcycle?
That's confusing as fuck lol
Not really, both your examples are a moped. The definition of a moped in most places has nothing to do with the style of bike.
I bet you use the word "actually" in conversions regularly.
I bet you make incorrect assumptions about people you don’t know regularly.
