Not that this adds a lot to your conversation, but I have seen that type of mobility device once in Japan.  A friend of a friend (Japanese) was scooting around and showing off with it last summer at a wheelchair tennis event in Nagoya.  The only thing I remember him saying was that he liked the freedom of going long distances ‘above ground’, such as the several kilometers from his home to Nagoya Station, as opposed to taking the subway.  I don’t recall any mention of using it on public transport, so sorry.
