I'm still planning to cycle the Simpson Desert. :-)
Funnily enough, I have no qualms about using the motorised scooter at the ANG (and I so wish more places had them), but I've been putting off getting one of my own for a mighty long time. Even thought it would probably help, except that I would feel so....something. So while personally I think you were crazy not to use a motorised one at the ANG, I suspect I entirely understand where you're coming from. It's really just about different comfort zones.
(Although FWIW, I had a whale of a time testing out the speeds and turning circles of those little darlings. Zippy!1!! Just like a dodgem car, only with steering! .... and no big Maori guy on the back pushing you out of a ten car pile up.)
