Charging the batts__Less noise to get the job done.
Without solar; Lots of 1000i/2000i inverters on the market. If I am correct, they output about 400w on econo (low noise). How much 12v charging can be accomplished with just 400w ?

That will work REALLY well. It's important to know about the batteries in the scooter. They sound like maybe gel batteries so getting the charging right on them is important so that they do not charge at too high a voltage and cook. That panel should give them a nice boost, just need to be sure it does not take them over voltage (a function of the controller).
The LandStar that BFL and I both have would act as an inexpensive 24V PWM controller. But the batteries would have to be happy with the built in settings. For gel they are: Equalize disabled, Boost 14.2v, float 13.8v. But x2 for 24v batteries.
