The Vespa ET2 50 has a two-stroke engine which needs an oil mixture in the gasoline. There are 2 (two) tanks under the seat: 1 is for gasoline and the other for 2T-oil.
If you dont't fill that oil tank with two-stroke oil the engine will run dry after a couple of miles and the bearings in the motor blow up.
Then you need a complete rebuild of the engine which costs more than the value of the ET2. http://www.wotmeworry.org.uk/manuals/ET2/et2manualpt1sm.pdf

You are a bit vague with your question.
Did it stop suddenly? Does it crank over?
Was there oil in the self mix tank?
Is there a spark at the plug?
Did you drain the carb for water?
Piaggio / Vespa scooters run on 98 petrol no problem.

Sounds it is a loose spark plug...
(or spark plug wire is somehow cut by wrong installation)

Vespa ET2 50 Scooter. Why is my Vespa ET2 50 jerking / shuddering on first departure.
Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from 'First Computers' to make model category.

You aren't letting it warm up before charging down the road with that tiny engine.

Or the spark plug needs replacing / cleaning / gapping.

Change spark plug 2005 Vespa ET2 50
Start by removing the plastic "vanity" cover (if equipped) and the air cleaner assembly from the top of the engine. Then remove the ignition coil or boot. Use a torque wrench to unscrew the plug and install the new plug. Finally , you should lubricate the spark plug boot and button it up. Find the most useful knowledge about vespa.

My Vespa ET2 will not start when it's off the kickstand. Starts fine when the bike is on the kickstand. Engine cuts out when i push the bike off of the stand.
I'm not familiar with ET2s but I had a similar problem with a Vespa 100 years ago. After hours of messing about i discovered a bolt had fallen and blocked one of the air inlets on the bottom of the frame. Was fine when i kicked it but when my bum was on the saddle it kinda 'sealed' around the tank area and starved the engine of air. As i say, i don't know about new ET2s but sounds kinda similar symptoms.

My vespa et2 50cc will flood when sitting overnight it fills the crankcase full of fuel makes it hard to start runs ok when fuel is cleared there is no fuel tap to turn off fuel so it is always flooded...
It sounds like your floats sticking in the carb leaving it open all the time. take the carb to bits and clean it replacing all seals.
