Watch: I asked the mayor of London to legalise Electric Scooters

I was sat having my morning coffee in the Electroheads office one morning and storming in through the door came Will, one of our video editors.

He was livid and it emerged that over his breakfast he had worked out how much money he would have saved over the past two years if electric scooters were legal on UK roads.

So, fired up, he decided to take matters into his own hands and started typing an email to the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, to try and persuade him to change things...

I think he's calmed down now.

Cycle to Work scheme - save £££

The Cycle to Work scheme is a government incentive that cuts the cost of buying a new electric bike and accessories by paying through tax-free salary sacrifice.

The price of the bike and accessories are deducted from your salary before tax and national insurance is applied - so depending on your tax rate you can save between 32% and 42% on the cost of the bike. Higher rate tax payers save the most.
