appears to be a degree of truth in the idea that US residents have a cultural aversion to two-wheeled transport No there isn't. People have jobs to go to and there isn't much public transportation, it gets cold, snows and people need to use the highways. People need to have a car so they already have a car and that's why scooters are usually something people buy for fun and not neccesity.
