Because a big-wheeled scooter like that is a good intermediate step in some cases. There are people who have considerable problems with balancing a two-wheeler, so that sometimes they can't start on a pedal cycle straightaway. I can't speak for the 20-odd years of experience of teaching people to ride bikes that the LSC has, but that's my understanding.
