Looking to purchase an Ebike through finance or Cycle to work scheme.

[Teal3]

Hi guys, new to the forum, glad to join.

On to the topic, I am looking to purchase my first ever Ebike, not looking for anything major, just simple folding Ebike to get me through my 5 day a week 8 mile work journey, 4 miles each way.

Now unfortunately, I am unable to purchase one outright, while my job and income are stable it's still not enough to buy one outright, so I was looking to finance one, currently I have been looking at Fiido D4S and Ado A20 which to my understanding are a simple mass produced Chinese bikes which seem reliable judging by the reviews, unfortunately here in UK it seems hard to find any third party retailers offering financing options for these. My employer also offers a cycle to work schheme thorough Halfords however it's only up to £1000 and Halfords doesn't seem to have anything that picks my interest as I require portability from the bike.

I was just wondering if you guys might know of any online retailers possiblity offering financing options on these or if there are any better options available for me.

Cheers!

Vive sold Fiido and offered cycle to work schemes, but they've just ceased trading. There's Bicycleland who sell Fiido and ADO among other brands and offer Klarna/Paypal/Zip staged payments, but not CTW schemes AFAIK.

The trouble with CTW schemes is they cost the retailer money, and there's very little margin to play with at the price level you're looking at.

The D4S is a good bike for the money; ADO not so much IMHO.

Move to Scotland, get a £3000 interest free loan...

we take Halfords vouchers. Please email support@wooshbikes.co.uk or visit https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?cycletowork
The process is fairly straightforward. You choose a bike like the Woosh Camino then let us know. I email you a quotation. You apply for the voucher. When the voucher arrives, you let me know, I arrange delivery of your bike. The whole process takes about 1 week from start to delivery.
For 4 miles each way, the Woosh Faro would suit.

I think they missed the 'folding' in you original post. Look at

The Rambletta | Powerful Foldable Electric Bikes with 10.4AH semi-hidden battery from Woosh

The Woosh Rambletta is the most recent 20kg folding bike from Woosh, with a large 36V * 10.4AH semi-hidden battery, very easy to stowaway, perfect for camping / caravanning.

It's just above your £1000; I don't know if you can just top up the difference. You'll get much better support from Woosh than you are likely to get a Halfords, or buying a Fido, and very good value.

thank you. I should go get my eyes tested at specsavers!
@Teal3, you can top up.

 

[Teal3]

Thank you for the replies guys, appreciate it.

@Woosh I heard only good things about you guys, thank you for information, Rambletta looks fantastic.

I'll make my decision soon.

If you need more range, ask for 12AH battery.
