What to wear depends mostly on weather and what you are comfortable with. One big thing is how well does it breathe and what color is it? During warm days I'll usually wear a light, white cotton hoodie that breathes really well, it covers me completely. If its a cool day but its still sunny, I'll usually end up wearing a black hoodie, black will usually warm you up and the material is on the heavy side so it doesn't breathe as much, so it'll actually make me warmer. Pants, denim jeans all the way, no holes and no tears. If one were to fall off and keep moving those tears will most likely become larger and so will your wounds, same goes with holes. Also avoid loose fitting jeans with huge bottoms, things can and will find their way to the chain. Some people wear motorcycle jackets and pants, if you can afford it go for it! Denim jackets would probably be your best choice, if you can wear jeans and be comfortable with them on why not a jacket? I also wear boots with ankle support, anything else I'd avoid unless you want to hurt your ankles, though some people can get away with just shoes but why risk ankle injuries? Socks are also another important item, I like thick breathable ones that fit into every space of my boots. Gloves are also a good thing to wear, hands are some of the most sensitive things above the belly button, why not protect them from possible slides? Leather works great and you can pick them up anywhere. Shooting gloves that are leather or there are some synthetic ones cops use are puncture resistant, they usually are a few bucks more but well worth it.
Helmets are a must in my book, though I can understand riding without one but I don't want to chance getting hurt, especially my head. If I was shopping for a helmet, I'd go for a open or full face helmet. Full faced helmets offer better protection but I want breathe without fogging up what I see through. Half helmets are better then anything. Choose your lid carefully, go to a local shop and shop around for one and if you do buy one online make sure you read reviews and measure your head accordingly. Expect a article about this subject in the future.
The next big thing I'd carry along is a backpack, especially if you have a 2 stroke or are going on a long ride. I find a backpack will carry your 2 stroke oil, I like to carry a quart because its cheaper then buying those little bottles for a higher price per a ounce. As for long rides, I usually throw my cell, wallet, and keys in so I have nothing in my pants. Having a comfortable ride in either car or moped/scooter involves pitching your wallet elsewhere, especially if its a thick wad of leather.
Some other things to carry along are your lock up devices like chains or U-locks. Extra tools such as screwdrivers, adjustable wrenches, vice grips, and anything else that you can think of that you might need. I'd carry along a extra spark plug, extra tubes or patches for flats, extra chain lengths, and just about anything else you think you might need to fix. For example, I have gazelle tires, they have new tubes, and since they are the pain in the arse to take off, take extra flat screw drivers. If your spark plugs fowl up on a regular bases, get a ratchet and socket. If your light constantly needs adjusting, screwdriver and locktite. A bright orange vest would be a good idea to bring along in case visibility is real low or your along a busy road working on a bike.
First aide kits are optional, I'd throw in some band aids just in case, maybe some eye solution in case something gets in your eye. If your allergic to bees, then have a epi pen available, nothing sucks like death on moped/scooter by bee in middle of the boondocks.
Just think ahead, sometimes you won't need to bring everything depending on how long the ride is. Sometimes you'll be really close to home and you won't need it. Just remember to plan for the worst and have a counter measure for it. Gremlins, Murphy's Law, and Idiots are always out to get you, be prepared!
