AMDifficulty 1/5

On a combustion-engine moped, comparing similar journeys and conditions, what effect does frequent hard acceleration and braking usually have compared with smooth riding?

Correct answer

Yes, it usually increases fuel consumption.

It usually increases fuel consumption. Repeated acceleration uses energy and braking dissipates some motion energy, so smooth, anticipatory riding avoids unnecessary consumption. This compares similar conditions rather than guaranteeing a specific result for every journey or technology. Safety comes first: brake as firmly as necessary for a hazard.
