Raleigh (United Kingdom) - Raleigh cycles are pleased to announce the launch of Electric Bike Access, their cycle to work benefit scheme where customers can save up to 42% on retail prices of electric bikes.

Now more than ever there is demand for affordable, sustainable transport that promotes good health and wellbeing whilst reducing harmful emissions. Electric Bike Access will offer a direct relationship with the manufacturer, along with an online shop and employer portal to make ordering and managing the scheme easy.

“The electric bike can be a true alternative to cars, particularly for shorter journeys. Commuters can combine the savings on fuel and parking with the enormous benefits to health and wellbeing. As well as the positive environmental impact, the bicycle could revolutionise the way we travel and dramatically reduce congestion in our towns and cities.” said Pippa Wibberley, Marketing Director at Raleigh UK.

The cycle to work benefit allows employees to purchase bikes with savings of up to 42% and spread the cost interest free over twelve months by paying for a bike from their pre tax salary. Choose from a range of bikes from Raleigh, Haibike and Lapierre, shop online and have the bike delivered to your home or one of Raleigh’s authorised retailers.

For the employer there are savings of 13.8% on the value of the agreements by reducing your national insurance bill. The scheme is uncapped with credit terms available and the online process means no unnecessary administration work. View, approve and manage the benefit centrally through your unique employer portal.

Raleigh has a network of authorised retailers across the UK, supported by their customer service teams at head office in Nottingham. Each business will have a dedicated account manager and have access to free events to engage staff with test riding electric bikes.

Their aim is to make electric bikes affordable and accessible to all.
