In the electric scooter space, we would strongly recommend you go with products from proven brands like Bajaj, TVS, Ather and Hero (Vida). Considering you reside in an apartment and haven't specified whether or not your building complex allows you to install a charger in your parking area. We will assume you need a scooter with a removable battery to be able to recharge it at home. In that regard, the Vida VX2 and V2 models are your only options among the established OEMs. You can rest assured that repeatedly removing and re-installing Vida's battery packs will not have a drastic effect on overall battery life. Reason: the company has engineered its batteries to be recharged in that manner. What you should be concerned about is the weight of hauling the heavy battery packs from your parking area to your flat, especially considering your advanced age. If you don't have a charging facility in your parking complex or somewhere close to your residence, then we would advise sticking with your petrol scooter purely. Because in the long-term it won't be feasible to keep lugging two heavy packs up and down every time you need to recharge your scooter.
