The man is reported to have been driving along Park Avenue when he encountered a median near Central Park between Main and Diamond streets.
"It appears that he was going at excessive speed through there," Lumadue said.
Police have not yet determined how fast the man was driving his moped.
"He flipped off the moped and sustained a fatal injury," Lumadue said. "He wasn't wearing a helmet or anything."
The sergeant said a full report was still be compiled on the incident.
