In principle, electric scooters are the perfect vehicle for London. The Sakura S50 seemed an economical option.

I have used my Sakura S50 for 18 months to travel around 6 miles per day to work and back...it saves me around £12 per week in bus fares and I dont have to wait for buses so my journey time is much shorter...I charge the bike at work so it costs nothing to charge up...longest journey I have done on the bike was around 25 miles and it was still going strong...overall it is well suited to my needs.
