> Scooters are vastly safer than motorcycles

Why make such a definitive claim with zero evidence to back it up?

The justifications in that section are nonsense and seem to boil down to a skill issue on your part.

Sure, around the city a scooter makes sense for a lot of people, though I believe they provide a false sense of security. The lower barrier to entry also lowers the "perceived" risk.

Feeling safer !== safer

Personally, I feel much safer on one of my motorcycles than a scooter. But that's because I am extremely comfortable on a motorcycle and can make it do exactly what I want, when I want.
