Cyclescheme

Cyclescheme is a way to pay for your new bike via a monthly salary sacrifice. The payments are taken directly from your gross salary, which means you don’t pay tax, national insurance or interest fees.

Purchasing through Cyclescheme allows you to save between 26% and 40%, offering a tax efficient way to buy your next bike. Once you’ve checked your employer is signed up to Cyclescheme, you can go ahead and ask us for a quote or place an order if you’ve already got a certificate.

Most employers choose not to limit the order value with Cyclescheme. This means you can browse the entire range of bikes, including e-bikes, and pair with complementary accessories. Please check whether your employer has set a limit before applying for your certificate.

You cannot add your own funds to the transaction. This is determined by guidance from the Department for Transport who have clarified that the entire order value (including any delivery charges) must be included on your certificate and adding funds is not possible.

As you cannot add your own funds, you should include the cost of any delivery charges when requesting your certificate.

Once you have applied for the certificate, it is not possible to amend items on the scheme or the order value. We recommend including all eligible accessories on the initial order, including delivery charges.

We offer the same standard returns policy to bikes and accessories ordered through Cyclescheme. For more information specific to our standard returns process, see here.

Once you have applied for your Certificate, the process typically takes between 3-14 days, depending on how quickly your employer processes your application. If you have an application in place, you can check the status via your Cyclescheme login.

The standard period for a Cyclescheme Certificate is 12 months. Some employers do offer 6, 18 and 24 month schemes. You will ultimately need to check with your employer.
