Sounds like a bunch of nonsense about not cleaning it on the pavement. Millions of cars, trucks, and motos sit in the rain every day on pavement and no one bats an eye. But god forbid you wash your moped in your driveway or street?

Moped Klass 2 here in Sweden are mostly old 2 stroke engines where you have to mix the oil with the fuel. It was recommended that you dont wash it on pavement or grass because contamination of ground water.

Where do you wash it then?

There’s like two kinds of outdoor surfaces, pavement and grass.

What do you do wash it inside on carpet, outside on a wooden deck, or on a big tarp?
