Whether the rider leans forward or to the rear the idea is to reduce the height and frontal area. The only concern with a rear leaning arrangement on a scooter is F/R weight distribution. Just make sure the tail is long enough to keep the center of pressure behind the center of gravity and enough down force on the front tire for good handling.

The Sym 250 was rated at 96 mpg and the 150 rated at 90 mpg likely due to the fairing. In project after project the results seem to be +50% improvement from streamlining and 50% from hypermiling.
