Hi all I was driving my Vespa S today to the petrol station fuel was low. The scooter just cut out completely and lost electricity no head light or electric start. Any ideas on what this could possibly be.

Did you make sure the kill switch is not engaged? Hold the brake and hit the start button again. Let us know what happened when you did those.

Done this and disconnected the battery and put it on charge to see if it was something to do with that and it was fine.

Check all fuses with a multimeter.

Check user manual for list of locations of all fuses (a couple may be separate to the main group ...)

Can you hear the starter relay click when you press the Start button?

What year and engine size is your Vespa S? And how old is the battery?
