Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much can I really save with the Cycle to Work Scheme?
You can save up to 52% on the cost of a new e-bike or cargo bike. The exact amount depends on your tax rate, but it’s a significant saving that makes owning a premium e-bike more affordable than ever.

2. Am I eligible for the Cycle to Work Scheme?
If you’re an employee paying PAYE tax in Ireland, you can avail of the scheme. It’s open to full-time, part-time, and contract workers whose employers are willing to participate.

3. Can I include accessories in the scheme?
Absolutely! Essential cycling accessories like helmets, locks, lights, and reflective gear can be included, increasing your savings and ensuring you’re fully equipped.

4. What if the e-bike I want costs more than the scheme limit?
The scheme allows up to €1,500 for e-bikes and €3,000 for cargo bikes. If your chosen bike costs more, you can pay the difference directly, and we’ll handle the rest with your employer.

Your employer purchases the bike on your behalf. You then repay the cost through salary sacrifice over up to 12 months, before tax deductions, which is how you save.

Once your employer approves and processes the paperwork, you can collect your e-bike and start enjoying the ride. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

If you leave your employment, the remaining balance may be deducted from your final salary. It’s best to check with your employer’s HR department for their specific policy.

Yes, but there must be at least five years between each purchase under the scheme.

10. I’m self-employed. Can I use the Cycle to Work Scheme?
The scheme is currently only available to PAYE employees. However, as a self-employed individual, you may be able to claim tax deductions for a bike purchase as a business expense. Consult your accountant for advice.
