Lowering a scooter means shorter suspension travel which means a suspension bottoming out which equals your butt having an accident. Not a good idea.

There are expensive ways of lowering a bike safely. Your looking at spending more than the whole bike is worth on just the front suspension and brakes. Look at bakaracers two se50 eiltes. Pretty low in the front. There are tons of kids here in hawaii that drool all over those two pictures

Suspension is not the only route. Frame modification is another.
