The battery is probably bad.  They last only 2 or 3 years usually.
I would take the battery out of the scooter.
Check to see if it needs electrolyte (if it has the 6 stoppers for filling)
Charge it fully at 2 amp or lower (overnight)
Have it tested under load at an auto parts store (free)
Or if it is really old, bypass the above and Order a new battery (AGM type)  (about $55)

scoot safely,

Thanks Mary K, I'll look into it, the battery is about 2 olds too. I also discovered another issue today, I found this dangling next to my muffler today.



Upon further inspection, I found a wire is cut??



Anyone have an idea what this is?

I plan on opening up my moped and cleaning everything really well one of these upcoming days. For now I just tucked that under the panels.

I bought this moped 2nd hand for relatively cheap, and I've never owned a moped so my apologies if I come off rather noob haha.

Also, some idiot knocked over all the mopeds outside (mine including) and the left mirror won't stay in place now. I can put it in, but it won't be firm (it remains loose, able to be rotated very easily). Anyone have a solution to help keep the mirror in firm?

I'll show you what I mean:





Thanks in ahead to anyone that can help resolve my question(s)!

When I don't use my moped for a few hours I can't start it with the electric start sometimes. This forces me to have to kickstart it. Once I kickstart it however and turn it off, I can electronically start it again with no problem. I've also noticed that the first 2 seconds of riding start off real sluggish sometimes and others it just takes off well. Anyone have any ideas on what may be the problem?  Everything else works fine. I have a 2004 kymco zx50.
