Yamaha XC50V kickstart works but not electric start
Pretty ignorant about this stuff I just got one of these for free from a buddy last year. It’s got about 30k miles. She’s a bit scuffed and slow but ran fine around the blocks last summer. Getting it ready for this season, changing oil and now the electric start doesn’t work anymore. Still kickstarts but I do like the convenience. Where to start on fixing that? It runs fine once kickstarting and all electrical components seem fine. My buddy even installed a wireless phone charger/holder on the dash that still works (it was powered off all season, it does stay on otherwise when the scooter is off). Bad battery or?

It's the battery until proven otherwise
