Get up to 50% off on your Hybrid E-Bike

Learn How To Use The Bike Tax Benefit Scheme.

Cycle commuting is an affordable and healthy way to get to work. Depending on where you live, it can also be quicker than other options. To start, you need a bike, and that’s where the government’s Cycle to Work scheme helps.

The Cycle to Work scheme, run through employers, helps you get new Hybrid E-Bike cost-effectively. The cost is taken directly from your salary, so you don’t pay tax, saving about 36% to 55%.

What Is The Cycle To Work Scheme?.

It’s a salary-sacrifice employee benefit, meaning you agree to give up part of your pre-tax salary in exchange for cycling equipment from your employer. Essentially, your employer buys the bike, and you hire it. The loan period is 12 months & is interest free.

The savings come from the pre-tax part. Since the payment is made before tax deductions, you don’t pay tax on that portion of your salary, saving you money on income tax. Your savings depend on your tax bracket and the cost of the bike.

Once your employer approves your application they pay for the Hybrid E-Bike. You then receive a notice to collect the Hybrid E-Bike from the closest Hybrid Bike retail partner, located all throughout NZ.

You repay your employer through monthly installments, automatically deducted from your salary during the agreed hire period. The monthly amount depends on the loan’s total value.
Employees agree to a 12-month salary reduction for the temporary lease of the equipment and the chance to own it at the end of the lease period. The key condition is that the benefit must be mainly for commuting between home and work, allowing some private use without losing the exemption. For example, you can use a commuting bike for leisure on weekends or for shopping.

The staff are unreservedly happy to answer any queries I have had, communication excellent and servicing my bike has been thorough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Frank (and his team) enough, for giving me, at 78 yrs old, my confidence back to bike.  I have gone, from a heavier bike with a bar, to a step through Hybrid. Right from the first phone call to the pick up of the bike, I have felt looked after and important and the communication and attention have been A1.  I am now a happy biker again and look forward to a summer of trails. Thank you all. Valerie

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After coping for a few years with an ebike that was a bit too big for me I went and visited Frank after doing a bit of research. I wish I'd seen him years ago! He spent time talking to me and seeing what I wanted and needed. After a few trial rides on different bikes and trying out different things I now have a bike customised just for me and what a difference it's made to my riding experience. Not only is the bike so much lighter than my previous ebike but I'm sitting so much more comfortably and in a better postion thanks to the size and framing. If you're looking at buying an ebike definitely go and see Frank, you won't be disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a chat with Frank the other day.  Awesome bikes.  Loved that the e-bike has brought back the fun in cycling without sore knees, and with the light frame I can choose to have electric assist or not.  Battery long life and lasts me around a week with daily commuting (including steep hill).  Stem - loved that I could extend this to suit my needs, as well as seat higher, and swapped over the brakes so R)hand has back brake and L)front.  Lightweight and easy to lift on and off bike rack.  Brilliant bikes, would love to own another.  Enjoying my F18 :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started riding a mountain bike in my mid 30s. I bought my first e bike in 2020 (aged 57) after knee surgery had left me feeling a little unsure of my ability to cycle 20 plus kilometres. I loved my mountain bike and thought buying an e bike would be easy. Five years later after trying 4 saddles and moving my seat post and handle bars I was still experiencing tight hip flexors, sore knees and a very sore behind after 30-40k rides. I was losing my love of cycling and was at a loss as to what to do. I started to look at different bikes but could find nothing that suited me. I saw Hybrid Bikes on Facebook and having seen other people’s reviews I thought I’d give the bikes a try. What I really liked about Frank, the owner and designer of the bikes, was that he let me choose what I wanted to try without telling me what I should be picking. As soon as I took one out for a test run I realised it was what I’d been looking for. A dropper post allowed me to do a full leg cycle but allowed me to still reach the ground. I came back with a smile on my face. For the first time in ages cycling made me happy.Frank’s bikes are made for comfort and as he builds them from the frame up, it is like buying a bespoke bicycle but at a retail price. Frank also spent time setting the bike up for me so it was comfortable from the get go. Since then I have found a couple of friends also have hybrid bikes and love theirs as much as I love mine. I can’t recommend Frank and his bikes highly enough. If you are looking for an e bike you need to check out Hybrid Bikes you won’t be disappointed. 250k and I’m still smiling, no hip or knee pain and not saddle sore any more. What more can I say!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A car at a roundabout failed to give way and hit the back wheel of my Hybrid. (5yrs old, 10,000+km) Fortunately I had only minor injuries that resolved in time. My kids took the damaged bike to Frank and he dealt with the insurance company on my behalf to get settlement by way of a cash payment which I put towards a new Hybrid and a MIPS helmet (the old one saved me from serious head injury or worse). The support I received from our local bike manufacturer was incredible and I am deeply appreciative.

Franks communications during the purchase was excellant. He great explained all  the workings and care necessary, servicing, pre set up ride to determine seat height, handlebar configuration etc etc. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend dealing with Frank and trying his range.

I am so thrilled with my first e-bike and the adventures that go with it! And what a game-changer it is!!!
