Well, that depends. They don't seem to have any spring mounts, so that might present a problem. Then there's the matter of length and stroke, these need to match the space and movement range of your scooters suspension, finally there's the type of fixings, most scooters and bikes use coil spring damper units with eyes on both ends.
You may be able to improve your set-up by increasing the spring pre-load on your existing suspension units, perhaps by adding a small spacer ring under the springs. You'd need to make sure that the springs can't get coil-bound at full compression though.
Alternatively, you may find some stiffer springs that you can use to replace the standard ones. A look around at some other bikes might give you some clues as to what might fit - you'd be looking for springs made from thicker wire, with the same length and internal diameter as the one's you have at the moment. A trip to a bike breakers might be an idea, as the chances are that you might find some units from a heavier scooter that can be persuaded to fit.
