I guess I should have been more clear, obvoiusly a full tire would take out a bike, heck a full tire would mess up a car, I was referring to those shreds of tires you occasionally see on the road, I think a bike could roll over a piece of tire with no problems.
I can see how maybe a scoter in some situatinos coudl stop quicker b/c its lighter and ging slower but with the shorter wheel base I personally think a scooter is less stable in quick stops or swerving for that matter. Also the wider wheel base of a bike I think makes it safer as well.
