". . . As for the scoot, it appears the wear and tear resulting from appallingly maintain footpaths is the cause of dodgy wiring breaks and loose connections. It might pay to double check that red machine - from the look of the bit removed, flames and smoke from under the seat (hot pants anyone?) might be less noticeable against bright red paint work..."
Council footpaths were the direct cause of my scoot going vertical. That frayed (or flayed, or both) the canopy as the back of the scoot became the bottom. The council utterly failed to make any allowance for the effects of a kerb crossing that was already steep then having a deep slot created at the bottom following road resealing over the years. They could at least put some soft padding in the landing area, apparently pedestrians and push chairs get re-aligned there now and again too.
