H4, but it's best to keep it stock... get those little LED lights for additional illumination like Blue did...

It's an HS1 socket but is nearly identical to H4.  It's a newer socket than H4 and is used for lower wattage lights (like in a scooter) but they aren't as common as H4 (being newer).  H4 will fit but remember that your scooter will struggle to put out any wattage past what it was designed for and will not work with a 60w light properly (the plastic may not be designed for the extra heat either).  H4 is widely available for motorcycles so LED's for a motorcycle will work in your scooter thanks to the similar fit and lower wattage of the LEDs (further creating the lack of need to make HS1 bulbs).  But LED's have their own issues as I am working through in my thread titled "headlights".
