HELP! 500 not starting/running

My bike doesn´t start - the battery was replaced and the guy said the voltage on it is fine and it charges okay, but nonetheless when I was merging on the hwy, it didn´t accelerate, shifted into 2nd, same story. Then the engine shut off and I had to pull over. Tried to restart - same issue. The guy I bought it from picked it up, took it home, said it might be an issue w/ the charging system but then dropped it off again (i wasnt´ home) and told my mom that its fine!

I can´t even ride the darn thing now for fear of being stranded so NE help u can give me wud be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
