To answer your question for the places I have lived they are not popular at all.

The reason for this is because in France...or at least the areas I was in the roads were very tiny and it just seemed like it was must easier to get around in a scooter but for the US the roads are much larger so we are able to be hauling around SUV's and Hummers ect. that I just could not see in Paris when I was there lol

Sure they have them here but the people that I see driving them are around 15ish because you are actually able to drive these a year before you get your ACTUAL license for a car so they want to be mobile and get place to place and are able to at a year younger.
My brother was going to get one when he was 15 but for the cost and knowing he would have his license in a year after (16) he saved his money and bought a car instead.
