There maybe an issue with fuel flow/delivery. Check the operation of the fuel tap and connecting hose. Has the fuel filter been serviced/replaced? Carburetor float level may not be set correctly, jets maybe dirty and blocked, these are all simple fixes if you are handy with some tools. Otherwise a relatively cheap fix by a dealer or more knowledge on the year/make/model of your scooter. Cheers.

I have the same problem on a grand prix 125. At medium throttle it progressively looses power A LOT. I also noticed the same thing when going down a slope and keeping the throttle low for a while. Once this happens you must let the throttle go for 1-2 seconds and then open it again. 1)it happens progressively (it takes some seconds to realise its loosing power) 2)to recover from this condition you need to either let the engine rev as you go with the throttle closed for about 2 seconds and then pull again or open the throttle completely! 3) if you treat the throttle aggressively all the time it never happens (however the scooter is missing a kick at medium throttle).

Engines dies when going up hill

It isn't a fuel problem, it is a power problem. Any bike will slow down on a hill. The bigger the engine, the more power is available to maintain speed. 50cc just isn't much power to pull a 150 pound man up a hill.

I am assuming the scooter has a two stroke engine. If it is a four stroke the valves may be needing attention. But even with good valves, 50cc just isn't a powerhouse of an engine. If you want to be happy, trade the scooter in on something 125cc to 200cc. You will feel better about your ride and be more respected on the roadway.
