  Moped is the term for a type of low-powered, economical motorcycle. Moped is short for motor-pedal because all mopeds used to come equipped with pedals similar to a bicycle. Now the term is frequently applied to scooters even without pedals. There are various tools available made for moped maintenance and repair.
  
  

Tire Irons

• Getting a flat or needing a new tire is inevitable. At some point, any moped owner will need a tire iron to change tires. Tire irons are generally made of steel and designed specifically so the bike doesn't get damaged during the changing process.
  
  

Flywheel Puller

• These are used to replace the points and condenser on moped engines. A flywheel puller will allow you to remove the magneto flywheel without causing damage to the engine case or crank shaft. It's best to use a puller designed for your brand of moped.
  
  

Tire Pressure Gauge

• If you don't properly maintain your tire pressure, you can experience a range of problems, including poor fuel consumption, tire failure, loss of control and faster tire wear. You can keep track of, and maintain, proper tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge.
  
  

Spark Plug Wrench

• Over time, spark plugs will need to be replaced. You can use a spark plug wrench to remove your moped's worn-out spark plugs and install new ones. Spark plug wrenches are generally made of steel.
  
  

Allen Wrenches

• Allen wrenches are sometimes called Allen keys, hex keys or hex wrenches. They are used to drive screws and bolts with a hexagonal head socket. Allen screws and bolts are common on mopeds, and frequently you'll find an Allen wrench set in moped tool kits.
