if you have just been starting it up each day and then switching it off, then it chugged, buzzed and then silence - it sounds like battery

I had a similar problem with my first scooter (An ET-2, I'm now on a PX125 since I turned 17) but I'd had it for about a year, It wouldn't start and none of my indicators were working so I was kick-starting it and sticking my arms out for 2 days.
Turned out it was just the fuse had gone, I panicked because it happened in the week I had it up for sale, typical.
