No electricity at all

I took my scooter out of storage from winter 2 weeks ago and it started right up with the electric start. I drove it around and then it started to putter and die. I had to kick start it and drive it slow to get it back home. Now today I went to go start it and when I turn the key I get nothing. No dash lights or sound. Kick start wont work either. I charged the battery and still nothing. The kill switch is not on, the battery was tested and works, I even checked the volts on the wire right by the ends of the battery clamps. Everything seems fine, yet I get no dash lights or anything. I checked the fuse right by the battery and it was fine also. Not really sure what else to do. Is there another fuse spot? Maybe a wire broke somewhere from the battery? I'm not really sure what else could cause a complete loss of power... Any help would be great. Thanks

SOURCE: DT125 no electrics! non starter

how about replacing the fuse by the battery it is a master fuse and thats what it sounds like
since all lights and bike runs after a bump it sounds like a master fuse problem
if not check your batterie ground it might be cut or loose

Did you check the carb? The float might be stuck traping liquid in it, causing it to act like its flooded. Or the Jet could be plugged up?

Hello
Have the battery load tested, a fully charged battery is about 14.2 volts, and then have the Alternator output tested, it sound like the battery is not being charged, it should have about 14.0 volts at 1500RPM, if not then the Alternator is defective. If nothing shows you will need the bikes electronic engine control system tested by the dealer for system fault codes.

My scooter suddenly won't start anymore.

Flat battery. Unless the battery is fully 12.2 - 12.6 volts, it won't start with the electric start. If the voltage goes below 11 volts, there is not enough power for fuel injection and ignition assuming your mystery scooter has fuel injection. Connect it to a battery charger for 8 hours.

When i plug up my charger to my electric scooter it says that it is fully charged but when i unplug it it doesnt move at all

I had a similar problem. When scooter purchased, gave it the full 8 hr charge. Was great. Husband did not bring batteries n that winter from unheated building. If left in cold a trickle charger needs to be on it. Easier to take out and bring in.

Same thing happened. Would charge and said fully charged but one battery(has 2) had a dead cell from being out in the cold. Took to batteries plus(very reasonable) had it checked and purchased.new one. Put in and gave it a full charge. Wonderful ever since. Use it at horse shows to run from trailer to stalls to arena and all over. Constantly forget to turn switch off and still comes through for me. It appears to go into a sleep mode when you forget to switch off. When back to trailer to sleep plug it in. The first 2 days of a 7 day circuit didn't plug in but then started to whenever I took it back to trailer as the strip sign says on platform. Duh!! Love it, love it love it!!!
