There is no restriction on the kind of bike you can get other than the value limit of your voucher which may vary employer to employer. Until fairly recently, there was a limit of £1,000 but that has now been removed by HMRC. Some employers may still use the £1,000 limit but it is no longer an HMRC cap. This is especially helpful if you are interested in an electric bike, the perfect solution for those looking to commute more on their bike.
You can also use your certificate for clothing, accessories & tools that are designed to make your journey safer and / or more secure. These might be commuter clothing, shoes & helmets as well as vital accessories for your bike such as mudguards, lights, reflectors and panniers. It is also worth considering other accessories such as tools & pumps, locks for security and commuting backpacks, ll of which make your journey safer, more efficient and improve the longevity of your lovely new bike.
