No, a **bicycle** is not classified under "motor cycles, scooters and other mopeds" because it is a non-motorized vehicle.
As per **Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013**, the useful life for a **bicycle** is generally **5 years** with the **Straight Line Method (SLM)** applied.
To summarize:
| Asset | Useful Life (Years) | Depreciation Rate (SLM) |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Bicycle | 5 | 20% |
| Motor cycles, scooters, mopeds | 10 | 9.5% |
So for your **newly purchased bicycle**, use **5 years** as the useful life and depreciate accordingly.
If you want, I can help calculate depreciation for the asset.
