I question the premise entirely. I've seen "loud pipes are safer" quoted endlessly, but never any data to back it up.
Are there already quiet scooters weaving through traffic? If so I wouldn't be any more worried on a quiet bike.
Quiet scooters arent on highways and interstates- places where traffic will still back up and lane splitting is perfectly legal, even with traffic still moving.
