Yes and no. The point of a governor is to limit the RPM's of the engine. Removing the governor in tiself does not hurt a thing, but then you run the risk of over-reving the motor and chance blowing it up. Remember, just because a motor will spin that fast does not mean that it was designed to!

How do you take off your governor on a schwinn sport 50 scooter2008?

If you are having problems with the engine, take the scooter in for repairs. Since it is a late model, I would think it is still under warranty. If you are wanting to remove the governor to get higher rpm's and more speed, DON'T DO IT. The governor plays an important part in maintaining the engine at optimum performance by governing maximum speed. If you remove the governor, you will be risking serious damage to the engine due to uncontrolled overspeeding.
