You cannot get your answer until you say if you are talking about a "gas powered scooter" AKA a Go-Ped, or a "gas powered scooter" AKA a Honda Metropolitan.
Ordinarily a 125 or 250 cc scooter is required for throughway use, it has to be capable to maintain expressway speeds, the small ones can not, so there fore are banned from highway use.
