While travelling at slow speeds it does not smoke trail but when it accelerates it leaves a black smoke trail which turns into a whitish swirly cloud which denotes as if left by a turbine.

I estimate that when travelling at top speed the so called Flying Scooter is travelling at a speed of 2,000 miles per hour.

I do not understand why it is called a flying Scooter as it is not shaped like a Scooter but more like a Cigar. Perhaps when this object is viewed from the underside it may take the shape of a Scooter.
