Maybe that thing can sustain a higher speed for the few minutes that count?
As I understand it, drones have turned ~10 klicks around the line of contact into a kill zone in which you can't move in the open for more than a couple of minutes before you're almost guaranteed to end up like that guy. To even reach the line, you either need cover from foliage or fog or something, or you need to move as fast as fucking possible. Being a small target might help a bit, too. Larger vehicles will get spotted faster and will be absolutely swarmed, and any larger formation is likely to result in the drone units calling for artillery support and incoming cluster shells.
They've also used motorbikes and various other improvised transportation for this, but I guess those scooters require less training and are almost as cheap as the poor fucking infantry driving them.
