Ryde bieks foar lyfe. But for real, I sort of don't understand what you're asking. What kind of scooter are we supposed to compare bikes to? Mopeds?

Oh, come on folks...What are we? A bunch of bike snobs?
Scooter pros; fun, cheap transportation.
cons; no exercise. And I imagine that the cheap off-brands might be hard to keep in good repair. Finding parts might be a problem, for instance.
I like scooters and mopeds. If I had one, though, my natural laziness might keep me riding that too much and riding my bike too little. That's not a problem where my car is concerned. But I don't like getting in and out of it and I don't like getting into those automobile "packs" that roam the streets.
I wouldn't have that issue with a scooter and might over-do it.

Well, this is Bikeforums, so I would say that yea, we are a bit. And honestly, when I first read scooter, I immediately thought of a razor scooter. Those things were badass when I was like 7.

Why would someone compare a moped/scooter with a bike unless they mean motorcycle. I still think the person is talking about razor scooters.
