That might be possible IF I had an electric scooter, which I don't. I do, however, have my racing bicycle which does have a watt measuring device, www.srm.com, from which I know it takes about 400 to 450 watts to sustain that speed (total bike and rider weight was less than 80kg, 23mm tires and a flat road). But I don't know what the difference would be for a scooter and rider (around 150kg) with larger tires and larger frontal area.

The best place to estimate the watt requirements I can find/know is this one:
