Kickstarter broken?

Hi guys, I have the following problem:

Yesterday I rode my privately purchased scooter with two people (the driver, i.e. I weigh 50 kg and the person sitting in the back weighed 70-80 kg). Everything went smoothly. We rode around and sometimes heard a strange noise when we were standing still, but didn't think anything of it. This morning I wanted to ride the scooter to school and suddenly noticed that the kick start wasn't working. It can be pedaled normally, but there is no noise (or at least not a loud one) and the engine won't start. The electric start worked the first time, but then it cut out again because I didn't do anything, and now it won't work anymore. Now the question is, the problem with the electric start is probably the battery, but what's wrong with the kick start? Could it have been because of the ride? If it helps you in any way, the scooter is from Explorer

First of all, it has no negative impact on the kickstarter whether you’ve been driving alone or two – a kickstarter isn’t going to break…

The fact that your scooter is no longer to start by kickstarter is therefore not due to the fact that you have been driving too two.

The fact that the scooter can no longer be started by E-Starter can, of course, be on an empty battery.

It can’t be a “wrong” mixture, because the roller would even jump if you had forgotten the oil or overdosed.

It will probably be due to the fact that too little fuel is in the tank, because a tank indicator is anything but accurate.

Another word to the self-mixed two-stroke fuel:

Sometimes it happens that you make a mistake when mixing.

One can be sure if one uses the 100ml portion bottles, because one comes to five litres of gasoline – a disadvantage is that these bottles are comparatively expensive.

It is very safe to use oil from so-called dosing bottles, because only the dosing container has to be “full-pumped” and this 100ml then gives to five liters of gasoline.

Most mistakes are made with the one-liter bottles, because the – not always – have a bar scale on the side and you get mistaken about a line quickly.

A dosing bottle (link) is perfect and if it is empty, you can also fill it again (with another) oil.

No, I don’t think it was on the back of the person. The scooter has either a problem with petrol supply or ignition.

Can it be that he has too little fuel?

All right, yeah.

can it be that I did something wrong with the mix? Do not know me but he uses a 1:50 mic

Jein. Like you don’t write. If you have too little oil, you have no lubrication and destroy the cylinder. Mostly, the piston eats tightly. Then there’s nothing going through. Too much it gets burned and pulls a blue flag behind you. Well, well, the spark plug would probably get dirty and no longer work. You’d smell that hard.
