If you can get to wherever you want to go within a 200 metre radius of a city by public transport

Very few, if any, cities in the world live up to that standard. I've certainly never seen one, and I've been to most major cities in Europe, unless you define 'city' is only a small part of the main city center. And even in cases where there are stops close to where both you are and want to be there is no guarantee that those stops are connected in any reasonable way.

  Any city > 100'000 pop in Switzerland
  Paris, within the 20 arondissements
  Prague, basically everywhere
Outside of Europe I could think of any Japanese city, as an example

Yeah, you may even need to take a bus. But then you're moving to those outskirts of town, where scooters anyway can't be found

Been to both Prague and several cities in Switzerland. You don't have to get far out side the city center before you start finding places with more than 200m to the nearest bus stop.
