Can a scooter not start if the battery is dead?

It can start. If the scooter cannot start just because the battery is dead, you can use the kick starter. Starting the scooter with the kick starter requires a certain technique: stand in reverse, hold the throttle with your left hand, pull the cargo rack with your right hand, keep your left foot close to the body, face backward, and forcefully press down the kick starter with your right foot. It's best to press it all the way down in one go to maximize the force from your foot, making it relatively easier to start the vehicle. If the scooter's battery is dead due to prolonged inactivity, here are some solutions: 1. Recharge the battery to restore voltage and power. 2. Replace the battery with a new one of the same model. 3. Use the kick starter to start the scooter, but you need to master a certain technique—press down firmly and all the way in one go. If the electric start didn't require throttle before, the kick start also doesn't need it. Once the scooter starts, quickly add some throttle to prevent stalling. Maintain this for about a minute, hold the rear brake, and push the scooter off the main stand with a little throttle. This method ensures the scooter won't stall after being taken off the stand.
