Bike to Work Scheme

What is the Bike to Work Scheme?

The Government scheme to encourage people to cycle to work came into force. Cycling keeps you fit, it’s fast, cheap and reliable – and it’s good for the environment.

The new bike scheme covers bicycles and accessories up to a maximum cost of €1,000. The bicycle must be purchased by your employer but the scheme can then operate either with your employer bearing the full cost of the bicycle, or by way of a salary sacrifice agreement where you pay, tax free, over 12 months.

How much do I save?

Cost of Bike  (example)	€1499
Excess to be paid upfront	€499
Your Savings:	€510
Final cost of bike:	€1009

 

Participating in the bicycle scheme is easy and we can help every step of the way.  Ask your employer if they take part in the scheme, if so, they simply purchase the bike and equipment up to €1000 on your behalf, with the excess paid by you.

At Greenaer we are on hand to help you buy your bicycle using the cycle to work scheme, we provide you with a zero obligation quotation which you can submit to your HR Department, once processed we invoice your company directly and after you pay any excess over 1000 euro, we deliver your bike to the door for free. 

Why are electric bikes better for commuting than conventional bikes?

• Ebike users can whiz to work without needing a shower on arrival

• An electric bike makes cycling easy, regardless of fitness level

• An electric bike enables its rider to tackle hills and headwinds with minimal effort

• An electric bike rider can easily average 25 kmph, significantly faster than typical car and bus speeds in city traffic

• Promovec electric bikes offer a range of over 50 kms between charges; recharging costs no more than 6cent (based on current ESB rates).
