Every time I ride the scooter Versa shows calorie burnt and additional steps for the entire duration of the journey. The ride is usually non bumpy with very little feet movement.

The Calories Burned has nothing really to do with step count (to a certain degree).  It's based on your BMR (Basic Metabolic Rate), which includes all activities, even everyday ones such as breathing.  The Fitbit then uses that information to estimate how many calories you burned doing that action.  You can find out more about it here.
