Too many people have pigeonholed themselves into a separate category simply because scooters have small wheels and CVT. You're bikers.

I don't necessarily think that is bad. This study says that motorcyclists are involved in three times the number of fatal accidents as scooter riders. The study suggests that not mechanics but attitude is the biggest part of the equation.

"Scooter riders also exhibit safer behaviour than motorcycle riders, despite both groups meeting the same licensing requirements. This suggests a difference in attitude which sees motorcycle riders taking more risks on the road."

I notice where I am that a disproportionate number of scooter riders are women, perhaps 40% which might affect the statistics.
