Solution for Cold Weather Starting

A scooter will start in 23 degrees or colder if its warm. Last night I put my flimsy, cheap parachute cover on my scoot and it didn't cover it, so I put a tarp over that covering to the ground and put bricks to keep it down. But the secret to it starting was putting a handheld trouble light with a 100watt bulb on the bottom of the scoot, making sure it didn't touch the tarp or it would melt that part touching it. When I came out this morning it started right up, didn't even have to turn the throttle several times to get gas in the carb!!
For those that have to use their scoot every day this will be an answer in the morning, then perhaps take the setup with to work and plug it in there, or start it every few hours. At first I was thinking of fire, blowing up the scoot, but I have no gas leaks and the trouble light is new, cord in good condition. A heat lamp would also work.
