two wheels of joy that made cities admit cars were a mistake
means A small two-wheeled vehicle ridden standing on a footboard, propelled by pushing off the ground or by a motor.
from From the verb "scoot," meaning to dart or move off quickly, which appeared in the 19th century — itself possibly related to "shoot" in the sense of darting motion, though its deeper roots are murky. Add the agent-like "-er" and you get "scooter": a thing that scoots. The word was applied to the child's footboard toy before it ever rode under a motor.
