If your scooter is a 12 volt system, and I assume it is, you will not do any harm jumping it with a 12 volt car battery. The only difference in the batteries is the amperage. Amperage doesn't burn stuff up. That is why we have voltage regulators and not amperage regulators.

A car battery should NEVER be used to jumpstart a scooter, this is indeed how you burn scooter wiring and set scooters on fire, or make batteries explode. Our "voltage regulator" is actually called a Voltage Rectifier, it turns the AC current made by most stators into DC current used to run the bike. Few bikes use a DC current system (some do, like Kymco, and some Sym). You really should have researched before you posted you comment, as disinformation is harmful to both the poster and reader.
