New toy to scoot around on

That's awesome! I'm so curious...have never ridden any kind of scoot.

You might like the convenience and economy Stich.

You might not like the acceleration-from-stop "lag" of a CVT-equipped scooter. It is an unusual feeling. However, at mid-stride the velocity picks up nicely on a CVT.

I'll bet. Like most 2-wheeled conveyances...I might not be able to touch down around the floorboards.

The real question for inquiring minds: can it wheelie under any circumstances?

The only CVT that I am aware of that can [routinely] pull off a wheelie is this:

Its start-from-stop is eerily like scooter, but immediately after that it will leave sport bikes in dust until maybe 80 mph after which they will pass by. I believe top speed is capped to 180 km/h - probably to prevent belt shredding. Aprilia actually had to detune the engine for the powertrain.

Additionally, you can store a full-face helmet where the gas tank normally goes on a motorcycle, plug in your electronic gadgets in the "tank storage", and gasoline is poured into a filler under the passenger seat.
