	Bad, no TERRIBLE***, handling, brakes, visibility, etc....
	What, me wear a helmet on a scooter!?!?! Like heavy dork factor!
How many young kids do you see wearing a helmet on a scooter? I
agree with the comment about learning traffic in a car first.
SCOOTERS ARE BAD NEWS, especially for kids. I've been riding
motorcycles in traffic for 15years and riding a scooter scares
the heck out of me!

I've got to agree, it's rare when you see a scooterist wearing a helmet.
Perhaps one in 10 or 15, from my experience here in L.A.  A while back
I came up next to a helmeted scooterist at a traffic light.  She must've
been about 60 and she really liked her wheels.  You meet the nicest
people on a Honda...
