Employee FAQs

Gogeta Bike is a cycle to work scheme. Cycle to work was introduced by the UK Government to get more people cycling. It lets you pay for bikes and cycling clothing and accessories out of your gross salary, before tax and national insurance contributions, saving you money. And because you pay for the cost of your bike by salary sacrificing the cost out of your monthly salary, it also lets you spread the cost over the salary sacrifice period

Any PAYE employee can use Gogeta Bike as long as your employer signs up. It’s simple, quick and offering Gogeta Bike as a benefit to staff doesn’t cost them a penny. Ask your employer to sign up on our website or download a guide to Gogeta Bike to send to them here.

We are afraid not as the Government guidance states that adding funds is not allowable. So please get an accurate quote before you apply.

You can get any adult bike, including electric bikes, plus a wide range of cycling equipment and clothing. You can select cycling equipment with a bike or if you already have a bike, you can choose to get equipment only, with all the same savings. You cannot get GPS trackers, scooters, bike racks for cars, cameras, turbo trainers or rollers, power meters or children's bikes. For a definitive list of what accessories are eligible, please read the HMRC guidance here.

Your employer will set the maximum scheme voucher amounts for Gogeta Bike applications. You’ll be notified of these when your employer signs up and when you apply.

Your employer will set the salary sacrifice period. It's usually 12 months, but some companies set periods of 18, 24 or even 30 months. You’ll be notified of these when your employer signs up and when you apply.

If you leave during the salary sacrifice period, as per the salary sacrifice agreement you will sign as part of your application, your employer will deduct the outstanding balance from your final net pay.

Your Gogeta Nursery salary sacrifice agreement can be paused during maternity or paternity leave.

When you apply, your employer will approve your application and then pay an invoice for the voucher amount. You’ll receive a Gogeta Bike flexi-voucher by email. When you’re ready to use your voucher, just present it to your chosen retailer and they will redeem the voucher amount.

No, your voucher is flexible so you can spend the balance over different transactions with different retailers. You can check the balance of your Gogeta Bike flexi-voucher in your portal (you’ll be sent a link to this when your application is approved).

It's valid for 12 months. We strongly encourage you to spend your voucher in that period. However if you don't, we can extend the expiry period.

No. As you have entered into a salary sacrifice agreement with your employer, you are committed to the amount you selected when you applied. Any amount you do not spend will still be repaid via your salary sacrifice, so it's important to select the correct amount and then to fully spend it.

It is your responsibility to insure your bike should you wish to. If your bike is stolen during the salary sacrifice period the employee remains liable for any remaining payments. If the bike is insured and replaced then the agreement continues as normal.
