You apply for the Ride-to-Work scheme online, once the application is approved by your HR team, you will receive a voucher which can be used to redeem for a bike and equipment, online or in-store.
The goods are leased to you via money taken from your pay, which come with a tax saving. These deductions usually last for 12 months.

When you receive a voucher to redeem for a bike, your payroll team will be notified to begin taking money.
These duductions are taken from your 'pre-tax' pay, meaning you don't pay Income Tax or National Insurance on this money.
This means your 'take home' pay doesn't have the full repayment missing from it, which is where you make the saving. To see how much tax you could save, try our Savings Calculator HERE

You can get any adult bike, alongside a wide range of cycling equipment and clothing. You can select cycling equipment with a bike, or if you already have a bike and are cycling to work, you can choose to get equipment only.
Items not permitted include: GPS computers, training equipment such as turbo trainers, energy products including food and drink, workstands and full-face helmets.

You can use the bike for either your full journey to and from work, or part-journey, e.g. to and from a train station.
You can also use the bike for leisure cycling outside of your normal commute too.

No. The Department for Transport does not allow the use of a credit card or cash on top of a voucher.
You should only apply for an amount that covers everything you're looking for if you wish to make the tax savings.

If your employer is already registered with the Ride-to-Work scheme and you know your account number, please apply HERE.
If you don't know your account number please contact your HR team for specific instructions as some employers differ.

Before applying please be sure to total up everything you need, includuing any delivery charges, as you will not be permitted to 'top-up' your voucher with your own funds at the check out.

A key feature of the Ride-to-Work scheme is that you can increase your savings by redeeming a voucher at Evans, for a bike with a sale price.
Please be aware you cannot obtain a 'Frasers Plus' price in conjuction with a voucher.

Yes, if you are already cycling to work, you can apply for cycling equipment only.
Please see exceptions above in 'What can I get through the Ride-to-Work scheme'.

After you have applied for your voucher, your employer must review the application.
Unfortunately you are not able to reserve your bike in advance with a deposit, however shortly after being approved, you will receive your voucher via email.
You are then able to place your order for the bike/goods online or in-store with the code provided.

If you're unable to find the model you're looking for, please contact your HR team for alternative redemption options (T&C'S apply)

If you're looking for a particular bike that isn't available within our store or online network, unfortunately we're unable to cater for individual requests.

Once approved and paid for by your employer, your voucher will be emailed to the email address you provided in your application.
As our email is automated, please check any junk folders or spam filters.

When you apply for a Ride-to-Work certificate, you sign into an agreement with Evans allowing you to keep riding your bike with no further charges or deposits, even when your deductions finish.
If you wish to sell your bike before this agreement ends, you can opt to buy the goods early or return the bike, if you wish.

It is your responsibility to maintain the bike. Every Evans bike comes with a complimentary health check after 6 weeks. Beyond 6 weeks, we recommend you book in regular maintenance with one of our fully qualified workshops. Our partner Sundays insurance can offer cover for your the bike, register for your free 30 days policy HERE.
After 30 days, Sundays will offer an exlcusive Evans discount on cover moving forwards.

After you receive your Ride-to-Work voucher, you have a 14-day cooling off period should you change your mind.
After this period, providing you have not redeemed the voucher for goods and started using them, you may request a voucher cancellation from your HR team only.
Your HR team may not permit a cancellation.

If you leave your job before you have completed all pay deductions, any balance remaining will be taken from your final pay slip, without the tax savings.
Once this is complete you will automatically be transferred ownership.

You can only join the scheme if you are paid via PAYE.
This is because the cost of the bike is deducted from your pay in order to make the tax savings.

Your employees apply for the Ride-to-Work scheme online, which you then approve for eligibility/affordability via our administration portal.
Once the business has paid, the employee will receive a voucher which can be used to redeem for a bike and equipment, online or in-store.
The goods are leased to the employee by Evans, with you making deductions from their pay to claw back the cost.
These deductions come with an Income Tax and National Insurance saving.
Deductions usually last for 12 months but you are able to offer employees longer if you wish.

When an employee applies for a Ride-to-Work voucher, the employer pays up front for the value of this voucher and claws it back via employee pay deductions.
You will need to instruct your payroll team to take these deductions until the entire balance is cleared, typically spread evenly over 12 months.
The first deduction begins from the next payroll period following your approval of the employee's application.
This process is called Salary Sacrifice as you essentially advance an employees pay, taking it back over time. Salary sacrifice is the process that allows the tax saving to be made.

No. Evans Cycles provides all the necessary process and agreements, register your organisation HERE and you will be contacted with simple instructions.

No. The hire agreement signed is between Evans Cycles and the employee, meaning they make use of our FCA authorisation.

If an employee goes on extended leave during the period of pay deductions, meaning their pay falls below National Minimum Wage, the employer has the option to start a 'repayment holiday'.
Employers would need to supply the employee with an amendment to their original agreement, for signature. The Office of Fair Trading rules state that if the agreement term runs over 18 months, the employee has a right to cancel the contract and therefore employers need to keep this in mind when extending the term of the salary sacrifice.
Employers are not liable to make the payments while the employee is on maternity leave.

You can only join the scheme if you are paid via PAYE.
This is because the bike's value is deducted from employee pay in order to make the tax savings.

It is the employee's responsibility to maintain the bike. Every Evans bike comes with a complimentary health check after 6 weeks.
Beyond 6 weeks of use, we recommend the employee books in regular maintenance with one of our fully qualified workshops.
Our partner Sundays insurance can offer cover for the bike by registering for a free 30 days policy HERE.
After 30 days, Sundays will offer an exclusive Evans discount on cover moving forwards.

No. The Department for Transport does not allow the use of a credit card or cash on top of a voucher.
Employees are required to apply for an exact amount that covers everything they're looking for if they wish to make the tax savings.

If an employee leaves before they have completed all pay deductions, you will need to take any balance remaining from the employee's final net pay, without the tax savings.
Once this is complete the employee will automatically be transferred ownership, with agreements nullified.

You decide on a scheme limit between £1,000 and £15,000
You select a repayment term from 12 months to 72 months
Employees sign into a 72 month hire agreement directly with Evans Cycles at the point of application, meaning no more cumbersome hire extensions to sign and you have no additional admin after salary sacrifice completes.
Employees incur no additional deposit charges or ownership fees either.

Employees currently enrolled in the scheme will receive their end of scheme options email from Evans Cycles at the end of the salary sacrifice period and will be able to select from:

• A free extended hire option directly with Evans Cycles
• Pay the Fair Market Value and take ownership early
• Return the bike to Evans Cycles

The employer may transfer ownership with the Fair Market Value reported on a P11D form, making the transfer a benefit in kind with tax payable on the valuation, rather than the full cost of the equipment.

The employee may be given the option to purchase the equipment at the end of the salary sacrifice term with the value of the equipment calculated using the Fair Market Value table as below.
This option will considerably reduce the employee’s overall savings.

Administer your own extension of the hire agreement with the employee and charge the applicable FMV if the employee leaves your employment before the value of the bike is negligible.
