      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.
