Imran Khan, 19, threw the scooter at police when officers stopped him and threw the drugs over a garden fence as he fled.
A dog unit assisted the search for Khan, who was hiding in a garden and within the blue chewing gum container he tossed police found ten wraps of heroin and nine wraps of cocaine.
At Isleworth Crown Court Khan, of Chapel Road, Hounslow was convicted of two counts of possession of drugs, with intent to supply, plus a charge of obstructing a constable.
The court heard that on Thursday, February 11 officers from the Violence Suppression Unit (VSU) were on patrol in Hounslow, west London.
Khan was riding his electric scooter in Gordon Road, Hounslow when officers stopped him.
He claimed he was on the way home, however officers knew that Khan was going in the opposite direction.
Khan was detained under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, when he threw the scooter at the officers and ran away towards Layton Road.
Officers gave chase and saw him throw the container over a garden fence.
Khan turned down Pownall Gardens, where he went out of sight.
The dog unit found Khan hiding in the garden of a property.
Khan pleaded guilty to the charges, but his claim of having a lesser role in the supply of drugs was rejected by the court.
