How it works

The Evans Cycles Ride2Work programme makes it as simple as possible for you to take maximum advantage of the benefits on offer through 7 straightforward steps:

1. Employer becomes a member of the Evans Cycles Ride2Work programme

2. Employee chooses bike and accessories from Evans Cycles

3. Employer asks Evans Cycles for a voucher to cover the retail price of the purchase

4. Evans Cycles invoices the employer for the voucher amount

5. Voucher is posted directly to employee’s home

6. Employee redeems voucher in any Evans Cycles store or the Evans Cycles mail order service

7. Employee’s salary sacrifice begins in his or her next salary

It really is as simple as that!

Important points to be aware of:

• Bicycles bought under the Ride2Work programme must be used primarily for travelling to and from work, and they must be suitable for that purpose

• VAT may be reclaimed on bicycles if they are purchased to implement a green travel plan, reduce car use or increase staff health levels

• Leavers or retirees from your company become responsible for any outstanding amounts. These are usually subtracted from final salary payments, and become a taxable benefit

• At the end of the lease period, the employer may transfer title of the goods to the employee
