× No, I didn't have a bike, I had scooty.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike; I had a scooty.
The noun 'scooty' (a colloquial term for a scooter) should be used with an article when singular: 'a scooty'. Also punctuation is improved for clarity. Suggestion: use 'a scooter' for more standard English: 'I had a scooter.'
× Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because uh, the mileage of bike is good uh, the mileage of bike is good than scooter, scooter.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because the mileage of bikes is good; the mileage of bikes is better than that of scooters.
Article and noun number errors: use 'the mileage of bikes' (or 'bikes' plural) and comparative form 'better than'. Also when comparing, include 'that of' to refer back to 'scooters'. Suggestions: simplify: '...because bikes have better mileage than scooters.'

Subject 'people' is plural so the verb should be 'prefer' not 'prefers'. Also use plural nouns when speaking generally: 'bikes' and 'scooters' (or 'scooties' colloquially). Better: 'So that's why people prefer bikes to scooters.'
