The Vectrix Super-Scooter is electrically powered and will be unveiled at New Spitalfields Markets in Brushfields street on Monday.
The scooter is powered by a rechargeable electric motor that will allow owners to travel for 68 miles after charging the motor for just two hours.
Owners will be able to recharge their bikes at 300 points around London by the end of 2007.
The scooter which will retail at £6,930 also has an estimated battery life of 10 years and a top speed of 62mph.
The bike will be exempt from road tax and riders will also be able to avoid the congestion charge making it a greener and cheaper option.
The project which has taken ten years to complete will use 20p worth of electricity for every 68 miles.
