As opposed to all of the car clubs that do the same?
If they're a club type of person, they are still saving gas compared to driving all those miles. Besides, most of those types of scooter riders are doing it because they want to, not to save gas or for environmental reasons... even if they may claim to have those concerns --- kind of like all the cyclists who become environmentalists when it suits their purposes.
I don't think riding a scooter is any dumber than any other motorized vehicle. It's certainly more fun than creeping along in a car. When we were 12 we would have likely killed someone for a scooter. Now that we're grown it's not manly enough.
