In Florida, scooters like the ones in the photo above are considered regular motor vehicles, which means they can't be taken on the golf cart or MMV trails. Those are reserved for golf carts, bicycles, pedestrians, roller skates, and Segways. I -believe- skateboards are allowed as well but I don't remember seeing it included in the rules, and I don't recall anyone ever asking about it here.
Scooters are pretty pointless unless you only plan on using it around your own neighborhood - in which case it's still pretty pointless.
If by scooter you mean something more similar to a wheelchair, like a Hov-Around, they are definitely not very practical for long distance use, and you can't go fast enough to keep up with traffic on the golf cart lanes on Morse or the main side-roads (like Avenida Central); and VERY limited sidewalks means you'd be stuck riding those things in some pretty hefty and scary traffic.
If you are physically capable of using a golf cart, I think I and almost everyone here on this forum will recommend you re-consider your decision not to get one. Either that, or expect to drive a car everywhere outside your own neighborhood.
