	Particularly on the smaller scooters, the smaller wheel size does not give you the stability at speed that you get from the larger diameter motorcycle wheels ( the wheels act as gyros at higher speed, if you weren't aware of that fact). However, if you are used to riding a motorcycle, the big difference is that you that you can't pull power off the engine with the clutch, you have to roll off the throttle. This can be a bit problematic until you get used to it. Don't ask me how I figured this fact out :^).
