Moped alternative

Answer:

ESCOOTER

Hint:

This two-wheeled urban ride often has a small electric motor and is popular for short trips where parking is tight.

Explanation:

A "moped alternative" hints at another small, motorized two-wheeler that’s similar but not identical. The answer "ESCOOTER" fits because it’s an electric scooter—a modern, eco-friendly option that serves the same basic purpose as a moped for short trips. The "E" at the start signals it’s electric, distinguishing it from gas-powered scooters or mopeds. It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden wordplay, just a direct comparison between two common urban vehicles.
