Check to see if you have power coming from the live wire to your light on the scooter. If you have power it could be the ground wire. You need a testing light to do this. If you don't have power then you can jump power from another hot wire.

I have had the dimmer switch be the culprit for a dead headlight a couple times until I cleaned the contacts the last time and pumped them full of dielectric grease.
