I would think that the smaller the scoot, the more the upkeep.....or just the opposite of what you stated. Smaller scoots are much more likely to be operated at, or near 100% throttle, most of the time, which isn't a good idea if your interested in your scoot's longevity.
Hassle free?.....go Japanese, but get ready to pony up some bucks. Then there are those of us that feel the tinkering, improving, and maintaining, of a lesser machine....is half of the fun in scooter ownership. My 150cc Chinese scoot is break down free with 9,700 miles operated, but it has been ridden as designed. It is not a highway machine. I know this won't help much. but my numbers look like this, from March 2012 to present.
Total expenses..$ 2212.73
Purchase price.. - 1327.54
Accessories....... - 312.19
Maintainance.... = 573.00
