Yep. Most scooters have automatic transmissions so you don't have to deal with shifting. I've never driven a motorcycle and I did fine renting a scooter in Key West. I just took my time getting use to the scooter and went around a residential block a couple times before going out in traffic. And if I can survive driving a scooter in Thailand I can pass ANY test you could throw at me. Take it slow at first until you get the hang of it and in no time you'll be zipping around.
The universe isn't trying to stop you from learning, it's trying to stop you from worrying
If you ask me you should be more concerned about getting on a horse! They don't have breaks and they have a mind of their own. Never catch me on one of those things!!
