A Vespa is a brand of scooter. It has a small gasoline motor that powers it. If you run out of gas, you are stuck pushing.
A moped is a combination scooter/bicycle. It is a scooter with a small gasoline engine but can also be powered by pedaling like on a bicycle.

Like Databit42 said, a Vespa is a brand of scooter.
A scooter has a step through frame with floor boards.
A moped has pedals so you can ride it like a bicycle and has an engine.
This is what a scooter looks like -

There are some old Vespas that are mopeds that can be pedaled... but they suck and I doubt you'll ever see many of them.
