My wife rode w me for the first long ride on the WKRP run and we did better than the scoot. You shouldn't really need to look over your shoulder as much as turn your head to see what is beside you. It is certainly different than riding a cycle because the rider is up close and personal, unless you have a back rest for them (like I had on my cycle). Practice, practice, practice. Be carefull and enjoy the ride vs rushing to your destination.

If I (115 lbs and a weakling) can ride a 180lb guy cupcake on my small frame, I imagine anything can be done.
