A1 licence entitlement permits for a motorcycle, of any style, up to to 125cc and 12Kw/15bhp. In the UK and I suppose most continental Europe, IF tests taken on a 'Automatic' transmission machine, then the licence entitlement is endorsed 'Automatic Only'.
Moat 'Scooters' are twist and go 'Automatic' but this is not what makes them a scooter or A1 Complient.
The 'original' scooter in the Vespa had a manual, multi-gear' transmission, with the gears selected by a left hand twist-grip... they were also made of steel and weighed a ton, and were inordinately compromised in the design for ideas of being user friendly, like smaall wheels, the engine 'un-sprung', in the rear half of the machine and off-set to one side. Ie the thing had pretty perverse weight distribution from the go-get, the inordinately high roiling mass was only token towards offsetting these fundamental design inadequacies, motorcycles with bigger wheels and engines in the 'Werner' position (in the middle) didn't have.
SO... if I was worried about the riding dynamic, the all-up weight, I have to say, IS NOT something I 3ould be all hat worried about! If I was worried anbout the design, I simply WOULDN'T start by buying a small wheel, un-sprung engine in the back 'Scooter'!! I would buy a motorbike! If I had to have a scooter, with small wheels and perverse weight distribution? Well.. you pays your money and takes your chances! Ie its not really a question to factor into the purchasing deciesions! ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
