What Is the Bike to Work Scheme?

The Bike to Work Scheme allows employees to purchase a new bicycle or e-bike at a reduced cost through their employer. Because the repayment comes from your gross salary, you enjoy significant savings on the total price of the bike and any eligible safety gear. It’s a simple, tax-efficient way to make your commute quicker, easier, and more enjoyable.

How It Works?

Here’s how your new ride makes its way to you:

1. Choose your bike and accessories

Pick any eligible bicycle, e-bike, or cargo bike, along with approved safety essentials.

2. Your employer pays the invoice

They purchase the bike and accessories directly from the retailer.

3. You repay through salary deductions

Repay the cost over up to 12 months. Deductions are taken before tax, lowering your overall cost.

4. Ride away

Once approved, the bike is yours to use for commuting and everyday travel.

If your employer chooses to cover the full cost, the amount is tax-free within the scheme limits.

Spending Limits

The scheme covers a wide range of bikes and equipment:

  • Up to €1,500 for electric bikes
  • Up to €1,250 for standard bicycles
  • Up to €3,000 for cargo and e-cargo bikes

These limits include eligible safety equipment such as helmets, lights, locks, pumps, panniers, reflective gear, and more.
