  Bounce the front of the scooter  up & down,. that should move the fuel gauge,

Another thing you could try before removing the sending unit, take a metal clothes hanger and straighten a section out and make a large J shape and try to reach it in the tank and pull / push the float up and down a few times to break the corrosion loose. If this doesn't work you can take it out and clean the contacts.
