The scooter only served as transportation for the gun. You would remove it and the mount from the vehicle, assemble the gun in a hidden position and use it to ambush enemy tanks or strike strong points.
This was an alternative to schlepping a 103 lb (47 kg) gun and mount around on foot, which would be far less pleasant.
Also a hell of a lot faster to get out of Dodge than packing the gun up and running on foot when those tanks or strong points decide to start shooting back.
Due to the lack of any kind of aiming devices the recoilless rifle was never designed to be fired from the scooter […] However, in an emergency it could be fired while in the frame, and while the scooter was moving.

The scooter [sic] themselves were original civilian produced VB1T models, 150 cc capacity engine. The engine was two stroke, top speed of 60 km/h (37 mph).
This is so incredibly Dudes Rock.
“75 mm recoilless rifle”, “relied on a […] rear vented breech”

Gotta stand on those brakes any time you fire that bad boy.
Nah bruh that’s just how you reverse
