Correct answer

  • BNo, es un ciclo de motor, ya que no supera los 1.000 W de potencia.No, it is a powered cycle (ciclo de motor), because its power does not exceed 1,000 W.
Explanation

A pedal-assisted bicycle may only have an electric motor of up to 250 W that stops helping at 25 km/h. With 0.5 kW it is no longer one, but it is not a moped either: it is a powered cycle (ciclo de motor), whose auxiliary power does not exceed 1,000 W and cuts out at 25 km/h.
