Scooter doesn't go faster than 25 km/h

Hello everyone, I just bought a second hand Peugeot Kisbee 2011 with around 8k km. When I did the test drive, I checked that it would pick up smoothly, and it did. However, because it wasn't insured I couldn't drive it for long stretches.
Today when driving it home for 20km, I noticed that when it reaches 25/26kmh, the rpm go slightly high and then low, sort of hiccups but not very hard. I don't know if it is because of the limiter to 25kmh? If I hold the throttle to sort of stop accelerating above that speed, it doesn't do it. Full throttle on uphill and downhill neither.
According to the owner, it hasn't been used for about 2 years or so.

Also, I stopped to get gas (98 e5) to dilute the old fuel after around 4km. After starting, it doesn't hold the min and turns off. Cold start is fine.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Start with cleaning the fuel system.
You don't know teh maintance history, so do a complete maintenance, oil and filter, air filter, spark plug, check the brakes and tyre pressure, valve clearance etc.
