First impression in this scenario, scooter is not allowing enough fuel to enter cylinder when throttle is opened.
Confirm that fuel has filled the carb-bowl and is flowing with adequate volume.
Possibly an air leak creating lean mixture.
Possibly carb not as clean as it needs to be.
Possibly air filter clogged causing too rich mixture.
Possibilities are numerous.
