Hopefully your scoot is a PX or T5.

I usually take a gas burner/blow torch to it. Heat up the aluminium pedal underneath nice and hot, then keep working the pedal up and down. It'll free itself up and as you work it, the rust and ally corrosion will be forced out.

Be careful where you point the torch as the brake light switch is plastic and you can melt it. Aim directly where the metal pin goes through the pedal.
