Altitude definitely affects a motor's performance. You don't say whether your scoot is fuel injected or has a carburetor. If it fuel injected the computer should correct for the change in altitude. With most cars, the altitude reading is taken when the vehicle is first turned on. If you gain a lot of elevation, you need to stop and start again for the computer to measure outside air pressure. With carbs, you don't get as much vacuum since the outside air pressure has dropped. The cold temps actually help by making the air more dense. If you lived in Taos, elevation around 9000 feet, you would have to reject the carb because of the elevation change.
