Renting scooter first time

I want to rent a scooter for going to the gym and getting food on soi tad I went to rent a bike and the lady said it would be to dangerous for me since i have never rode a scooter. I understand how dangerous the major roads are and will stay away but just going up and down soi tad can’t be that bad? What do you guys think. I ride bicycles and drive cars back home but never tried scooter.
