Yes!

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) has published and made available online in PDF format a 70 page book called

YOU AND YOUR SCOOTER: Riding Tips
http://msf-usa.org/downloads/Scooter_tips-screen.pdf

It is a must read.

And don't forget, you really should take the Basic Rider Course.

comprehensive

Does it include a bit about the hilarious/dangerous effects of "covering" a foot-operated rear brake on a road with potholes?

Dunno about the "do not ride a scooter at night" part.

Read Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well by David Hough. Just about everything he says applies to scoots.

I highly recommend this book too. I purchased it right before I went for my permit.
