The Bike to Work scheme allows your employer to assist you in obtaining a brand new bike and safety equipment worth up to €1,250 for a regular bike, up to €1,500 for an electric bike and up to €3000 for a cargo bike. (Excess cost is paid by the employee)

2. How does the scheme work?

Your employer can cover the cost of a new bicycle, including accessories, and you repay the cost, minus the tax, in regular instalments from your gross salary.
