I have a 2013 Blur 220i and it seems the battery does not like the cold weather. Was last replaced last year with this battery:

I guess the Cold Cranking Amps: 310 is too low maybe?
It keeps dying on me after short rides and I need a jump.
I have a trickle charger but live in an apartment so it means taking the battery out which is a pain.
So I am wondering if there is a better battery I can buy that can handle the cold better or if I just need a new battery.

That battery has more than enough CCA for your scooter. You actually answered your question in your thread without knowing it. You stated that after several short rides, it needs a jump start. You are not riding long enough to recharge your battery. So, either take the long way to and from wherever you are going, or plug it in to a charger when done with these short rides to top it off.
The other option is that you got a bad battery or it has been damaged from not getting a full charge over the last year and it will need replacement. You would have to take the battery somewhere where they can tear it to see if it is putting out the power it is advertised to have.
