From unpressured preference the scooter is typically an alternative to the car, not an alternative to walking.

When I do choose the scooter over walking it's usually a matter of time, not distance or effort.

I often park in a street which is about 2 miles or so from my usual "centre of activity" and about 3 miles from my home. Mostly because I have an apartment there and I didn't rent out the parking space so it's always both free and available. I typically can have various dealings in many different places zig-zagging all over that area, though rarely between places much more than a mile or two apart.

And on top of time is that this is a hot country, and I really can't arrive in places all sweaty; which I would be if I hurried on foot.

If I didn't have the scooter, which I didn't until a year or so ago, then usually taxis when I'm busy or on a schedule.

Socially I walk a lot and would never drive for a journey of less than a mile or two. I usually walk to a little strip mall, for example, which is about 2 miles away, probably two or three times a week. -> Burger King, Starbucks, a small bar I like, my bank and the Pharmacy - which pretty much sums up a lot of my weekday spare time.
