The term SCOOTERS' KIN is referring to mopeds, which are two-wheeled vehicles that are powered by a small engine. Mopeds are similar to scooters in that they both have small engines and are designed for short-distance travel, but mopeds typically have larger engines and are heavier than scooters. Mopeds are also usually equipped with pedals, allowing them to be used as a bicycle if the engine fails.
