    This is the speed bumps only need to drive 2MPH and feel sick
    A moped has a much shorter wheelbase than a car, and so yes the ride over bumps like those will seem much choppier than a car driver would expect. But all the same, it shouldn't be enough vibration to shake screws loose inside your 'ped.
    Glad to know you've fixed it for now. If it happens again you can try some threadlock; something like this (other brands and stores are available):
    Yeah dont want to mess around with things but might just check inside screws month because happened on my first monthgot moped but on other handle side and gargae fixed it in 5 mins for me. But will take a look at this screw if it keeps happening!

    OP, might be worth speaking to the car park team about adjusting them to take into account mopeds. Pretty easy to put a channel in for you to ride down to avoid the worst of the bumps. If cyclists are using that entrance as well, they may also be affected.

    My workplace has an carpark and has motorcycle bays but sadly they have these 6 lined speed bumps that keep bouncing my moped up and down. Sadly when left carpark notice my gearbox keeps rotating up and down and caused my moped to drive on it’s own never had problem used carpark for months and months and when left home this morning everything was working. I think that these lined speed bumps after many months caused screw to become loose and need advice on how to deal with it work with nhs and carpark owned by nhs. I have to take my moped to the garage to change the screw hopefully they won’t charge me but can I claim of my workplace if do get charged if I can proof that those bumps make screw come unloose 
    Just in case

    that type of speed bump is commonly used prior to a barrier access point to try and prevent tailgating
