RIDE TO WORK – SAVE UP TO 42% ON AN EBIKE AND ACCESSORIES!

We think cycle to work schemes are great, helping to give more people all the wonderful physical & mental health benefits of cycling.

If you are employed PAYE then you may be able to save up to 42% off the price of a new ebike and accessories and also spread the costs over time through salary sacrifice. It’s almost a no brainer!

SmileBikes belongs to a number of the Cycle to Work schemes including Cyclescheme, Halfords Cycle2work, Vivup and the Green commute initiative. If your Company belongs to a scheme that we are not currently part of we can link to that as well.

We recommend...

Although buying a bike through ride to work is available on all of our bikes, we recommend the CGO 800s and CGO 600 Pro from Tenways as a commuter bike, suitable for (almost!) everybody.

It’s simple yet intuitive, with a gear-less drive train and a maintenance free carbon belt. Perfect to just get on and go!

Green Commute Initiative

A more green approach to a ride2work scheme and lightning fast in processing with no spend cap as standard.

Vivup

A Cycle to work scheme that specializes in NHS employees although not limited too.

The not so small small print…
*T&Cs: Because Ride to work schemes take a hefty commission, we cannot offer our Ebikes at sale price through these schemes. Whereas most bike shops will charge you the full commission fee, we split the schemes commission charge with the customer 50/50. Schemes commissions typically range from 5% – 15% of the price of your Ebike, please get in touch to find out your schemes commission charge.

On bikes sold at RRP, we will cover the full commission cost so there will be no additional fee payable by you.

 

We are not yet able to process cycle to work orders through our website. If you wish to place a order using cycle to work, please contact us by email (info@smilebikes.co.uk) and one of the team will manually process your order.
