To sign 'scooter,' form both hands into 'S' shapes (fists) with your palms facing down. Hold them out in front of your body as if you are gripping the handlebars of a scooter. Move your hands slightly to mimic the motion of steering and riding the scooter.
Sign 'scooter' by mimicking holding the handlebars, then sign 'ride' and 'park' to complete the thought.
Sign 'scooter' while raising your eyebrows and leaning slightly forward to indicate you are asking a yes/no question.
Sign 'children,' then sign 'play,' and finish with the sign for 'scooter' to show what they are playing with.

Yes! This general sign works for both. If you need to be specific, you can fingerspell 'electric' or use your body language to show the kicking motion of a manual scooter.
Keep your hands about shoulder-width apart or slightly closer. This accurately reflects the narrow width of real scooter handlebars and keeps the sign distinct from driving a car.
