Because they are illegal mopeds. Manufacturing them is cheaper when they don't have to use money to pass any of the safety regulations and requirements of actual mopeds.

    If they are built to spec, then it should be trivial for the manufacturers to make a legal version for those who want one, no? They could still keep selling the other version too, it would literally be the same vehicle after all, one would just have the required papers.
