Check your front end CAREFULLY to be sure that there are no cracked welds or joints. Also make sure the triple tree is tight and the forks are aligned. If your scooter feels different it's because it most likely is. Even slow speed accidents can cause a surprisingly high amount of damage depending on the angle of impact, solidness of the object struck etc... You also mentioned that you laid it down so it might just be as simple as a bent handlebar. Check those as well. Hope that helps.
