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.
