FAQs
What is 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.
How does the scheme work?
Purchasing through Cyclescheme allows you to save between 25% and 39%, 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.
How much can I spend?
Most employers choose not to limit
the order value with Cyclescheme. This means you can browse our 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 eCertificate.
Is shipping included?
Shipping is not included in your eCertificate. After submitting your eCertificate claim for your bike and accessories, you will be taken to the checkout where you will need to pay £50 per bike for shipping.
Can I add my own funds to the transaction?
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 must be included on your Certificate and adding funds is not possible.
How long does it take for my Certificate to be approved?
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.
How often can I apply for a Cyclescheme Certificate?
The standard period for a Cyclescheme Certificate is 12 months. Some employers do offer 6 and 18-month schemes. You will ultimately need to check with your employer.
