Looking to find a reliable escooter with a removable battery that is concious of secutity. My last scooter a max g2 got stolen need something reliable at least 18 mph and can go like 20 mile range, good in cold, snow and rain.

Edit: someone broke into my garage, and stole my scooter, helmet and kroptonite lock. IT WAS LOCKED UP they cut the pipe it was attached to

Looking for a swapable battery cause then I dont have to carry the whole scooter up stairs, as well as it could be replaced easily in the future

Why are people coming in here and down voting the two people who clearly have experience with pevs, that are trying to provide this person with the information he needs to appropriately set his expectations on the long term ownership of a pev, but also not making any useful comments themselves? If your gonna down vote me for saying the batteries are not buy it for life, or the lock guy for bringing up the very real issue of theft, shouldn't you at least like... Recommend the guy a scooter? Since the background information we are trying to provide is so unimportant? The only two people who actually took the time to try and give this guy real background information on long term pev ownership are being downvoted by people who don't have any advice of their own and that seems kinda silly to me...
