Many UK employees can get an e-bike through a Cycle to Work scheme, spreading the cost through payroll and potentially saving on tax and National Insurance.
Not sure if your employer offers one? It may be worth asking HR — many people are eligible without realising.

Need longer than “Pay in 3”? Ask us about interest-free Buyline finance for your chosen e-bike, with terms of up to 11 months. Options vary by bike and are subject to eligibility and lender approval.
Explore your payment options Please contact us before placing your order to enquire about Buyline.Your bike will arrive boxed and approximately 80% assembled. Some final assembly, adjustment and safety checks will be needed before your first ride.
Depending on the model, this may include fitting or checking the handlebars, stem, pedals or wheels, checking tyre seating and pressures, adjusting brakes and gears, and checking other safety-critical components.
Please follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with your bike and make sure all required assembly, adjustments and safety checks have been completed correctly before riding.
If you're not confident carrying out the setup or checks yourself, we recommend asking a competent bicycle mechanic or suitably trained cycle professional to help.
You're responsible for making sure the bike is correctly assembled and safe to ride before first use. Problems caused or contributed to by incorrect assembly, adjustment or missed safety checks may not be covered as product faults.
The ENGWE Zip is a compact folding e-bike designed for riders who want genuinely useful portability without dropping down to a tiny, basic commuter. Its patented triple-folding design packs down to just 62.5 × 37.4 × 67.3 cm, while a 19.4 kg complete weight makes it far easier to manoeuvre than most full-size folding e-bikes. The 16×1.95 urban tyres, upright cockpit and compact wheelbase make it especially well suited to city riding, mixed-mode journeys and homes where storage space is limited.
A 250W rear hub motor produces up to 40 Nm of torque and works with a torque sensor, so assistance responds to how hard you pedal rather than simply switching on with crank movement. The removable 36V 10Ah LG battery has 360Wh of capacity, while Shimano 7-speed gearing and hydraulic disc brakes give you useful control for everyday riding.
The Zip also has a few genuinely unusual practical touches. Its battery supports 100W USB-C PD charging and can double as a portable power bank, while the suspension seatpost adds some comfort without the extra weight of a suspension fork. A 3.2-inch colour display with Bluetooth, integrated front and rear lighting, quick-release pedals and ENGWE app connectivity round out a bike that feels particularly well thought through for compact everyday transport.
Recommended rider height: 155–190cm. This is a general fit guide; comfort and control also depend on inseam, saddle adjustment and riding position. If you are near either end of the range, please contact us for fit guidance before ordering.
Battery cover: 1 year

Our approach: Product fit, road-use classification and practical suitability matter more than the biggest range or torque number. Advertised range is not guaranteed in real-world riding.
