Apparently the scheme was changed sometime ago, but most retailers still show the same advice (has to be a whole bike…)

Anyone used it without buying a full bike?

Got a set of wheels on it!

Yep, bought some new riding kit. All good.

Yes for the past two years. On cyclescheme and probably others keeping under £500 means a lower payment at the end of the year.

Yep, got a Gemini light from Halfords on it.

just posted on another thread but some things like helmets are viewed as having 0 value after one year so don’t count towards the final transfer fee.
When I did my accessories only deal 2 years ago through Evans their system would only let them process cycle2work vouchers as bikes but I sent my receipt through to cyclescheme and didn’t have any problems valuation wise.
