It’s an agreement between you and your employer. This details what you’re hiring, for how long and with what repayments.
This depends on how you get paid – weekly, monthly, 4 weekly, etc. Also, how long your Hire Agreement is in place for. For most people, this is 12 equal payments taken from your salary across 12 months.
The Ownership Fee is a set percentage based on the age and value of your Cyclescheme package. At 4 years old, 3% needs to be paid on packages less than £500 and only 7% on packages over £500.
There are numerous cycle to work providers available in the UK and you need to choose the one which meets your needs. If your employees need cycles that are over £1,000, such as commuter-quality e-bikes, then Green Commute Initiative will be the obvious choice. GCI has no £1,000 limit and no scheme exit fees. This means employees will benefit from the full tax saving applicable to them. GCI is also the only scheme set up as a not-for-profit social enterprise whose constitution prevents it from taking on debt. Therefore, it can never have creditors and cannot become insolvent. This means the bikes are safe and will always end up with the employee. No other provider can currently offer this safeguard.
When an employee leaves before the end of the agreement, any outstanding amount on the loan must be repaid within 14 days of leaving the employment. However, the final salary payment must not take them below the minimum wage (before tax is deducted). If the outstanding amount owed is not fully covered by the final salary payment, the employee must pay it through their own means. This will mean that they lose the tax-free benefit on any amount not paid via their salary.

In the UK, electric bikes with throttle (that are faster than 15.5mph and 250watts) are not allowed on footpaths, cycle lanes, or roads. It is solely the customer’s duty to make sure that you adhere to all UK legal requirements when using your e-bike. The customer releases i-LAPS Ltd and its owners from any liability resulting from the usage of electric bikes and takes all responsibility and risk associated with their use.
