Bike insurance policyholders looking to give themselves a late Christmas present might want to consider going green with an electric scooter.

According to manufacturer e-motive, investing in one of the bikes can help give people the gift of freedom.

Bike insurance policyholders may also be pleased that they no longer have to feel guilty about CO2 emissions, as the models do not cause road-going pollution.

"These electric scooters open up a whole new world of travel possibilities and without any of the extra costs and drawbacks associated with motoring," commented e-motive managing director Paul Williams.

Because of their electric status, the scooters escape road tax and congestion charges and the bikes also need no fuel, instead requiring regular charging.

Other plus points include making commuting easier and avoiding the need for daily car or train commutes, as well as no engine noise.

The scooters are priced from £1,399 and come with extras such as an unlimited mileage warranty.

Earlier this month, e-motive called upon the government to include provisions for two-wheelers in its electric vehicle plans, describing the models as much better suited to battery technology because of their smaller size.
