You order a bike and then hire it back from your employer for an agreed period; by way of monthly payments which are deducted directly from your salary. At the end of this hire period, your employer will normally let you keep the bike (they may charge you a nominal fee, however, this is at the discretion of your employer).
We accept vouchers from all cycle to work providers, if you are uncertain please Contact Us for further assistance.
The guidance for Cycle to Work has been updated and resulted in the cap being raised over £1000, however, this also means that it is no longer possible to top up a voucher. If in doubt please Contact Us for further assistance.
The government updated their guidance for Cycle to Work which resulted in the £1000 limit being scrapped. However, this now means that it is at the sole discretion of the employer as to whether they are happy to allow bikes over the value of £1000 to be ordered on the scheme. Some scheme providers have an online tool where you can quickly check your employer's limit. You should, therefore, always check with your employer before obtaining a quote.
Yes, the carriage fee can be included in the total value of the voucher.
Once you receive your voucher, you can order the bike as normal on the website and select either; the ‘cyclescheme’ payment option (if you have a voucher from www.cyclescheme.co.uk) or ‘Other Cycle To Work Schemes’ if you have a voucher from any other provider.
All bikes, parts, and accessories are available to order with the exception of;

Prior to June 2019 the limit was capped at £1000. The DFT have since updated their guidance to allow Certificates of any value to be requested.
Due to their value, e-bikes were precluded from being ordered through the scheme. Given their popularity and demand for cycle commuting this was a major issue.
Therefore, the Cycle to Work Alliance (CTWA) lobbied for changes to the scheme to promote more cycling inclusivity, which also happened to include the purchase of e-bikes. This has resulted in the limit of the scheme being updated so that you can now obtain a market leading Ribble e-bike.
Not necessarily, employers are free to set any limit that they see fit. Therefore, before applying for a Cycle to Work certificate we would first advise that you to speak to your employer’s cycle to work administrator. They will provide you with all the necessary information that you need for your application.
(If your employer already has their own FCA authorisation then they probably already accept orders above £1000).
E-bikes are changing the way that we travel but are more expensive than traditional bikes. You can now get your hands on one of the most advanced e-bikes in the world for a fraction of its RRP.
Absolutely! Previously you would only make any savings on the first £1000 of the total value of the order. Now you make savings across the value of the entire bike package. These savings could save you on average somewhere between 25-39% of the value of the order. We think you will agree this is a substantial saving.
