Heavier , yes. However with correct methods, maybe not too much difficult
Incorrect methods, even a strong guy would struggle lifting 150-200kg

Scooters are generally easier because automatic CVT, that's about it
Kapchai generally still got gearing, albeit no need clutch. Centrifugal clutch automated the process for you.

Forget what you're familiar with bicycle, and just treat motorcycles scooters etc an entirely separate thing.

And as I've always tell everyone, you don't speed, there are many others very willing to speed. They can crash into you.
Think about it.

Please be specific what you're referring to?

Or I guess "you can do it!", "just do it"?

ATGATT (all the gear all the time), or you weigh your risk Vs convenience /time.

And yes it can be very inconvenient to fully suit up.
It takes me maybe 30 minutes to get suited and on my bike.
But that same 30 minutes I would have already arrived my destination at Gohtong Jaya and ordered beverage.

On both extreme ends, going squid (or bare minimal, like helmet gloves) would be most convenient.
And if you never get into an accident or crash, all those gear are just wasted time and money, and weight upon you during rides, probably uncomfortable too depending on what you got and the weather.

The other end, having proper protective gear could mean the difference between life or death. It certainly saved my ass numerous times and I still get to post on Lowyat
