Would you need to put lolly sticks in the spokes to make it sound like a real scooter?

Must admit it does look pretty funky. Must be a pain when he gets in to town and has to lift it up and down the kerbs though.

I am currently working on a project overseas, and getting around day to day is a bit of a nightmare! I'm going to buy one of these new electric scooters, and wondered if I can put it through my business? It genuinely would be w+e for business use, as I live in the countryside back home so no use for it there.

Thanks in advance!

If your name is Scooter you can put anything through your business (even if it's a night at Feltham Angry Jocks Offenders Centre, aka The Thistle Hotel Heathrow), as long as you get a receipt.

I actually drive over to Europe, so wouldn't be taking it any flights.
It would only be used when on project (getting around site, going out for lunch etc), but not sure if it counts as w+e for business use.
Far better to get yourself an R.V with a scooter on the rear - you can justify it as an alternative to staying in digs on your travels

Whether you can claim it as a tax deductible expense depends on whether it is wholly and exclusively for business purposes?
Taking them abroad can also be a problem, since airlines don't like to carry Li-Ion batteries above a certain size.
I'd buy it abroad if I was going to purchase one.
