In the first paragraph, the article says "To encourage this alternate mode of transportation, regulations should treat scooters more like bicycles than motorcycles."

Why would we want to encourage scooters? Sure, scooters are cheaper and use less gas, but those are things that benefit the scooter owner, not the rest of us. A scooter emits more local air pollution than a car. It causes just as much traffic congestion as a car. And it's more of a hazard for pedestrians (I've never seen a car driving on a sidewalk in DC, but I see scooters driving on sidewalks a lot.)
