If its new then you need to go through the wholle electric system and check all connectors. They are bad about being loss or not even connected. Charge the batt good befor using much. Dump all the oil that came in it first thing and make sure all the bolts are tight. Google Scooter post delivery inspection. Its a good thing to do even if it was used

First thing I'd check would be the inline fuse, in positive cable near the battery. If it's the glass type, toss it and install a spade type (available at any auto parts store). Also check battery ground...make sure it's a clean and tight connection.

That price leaves you plenty of money to find the issue, and still make a few bucks if you upgrade.
