I'm thinking of changing to a recumbent trike from a DF and my boss has signed us up to the Cycle To Work Scheme so it'll cost me a bit less. However, the scheme limit is £1000 inc VAT which limits me to the Cobra KMX Kart at £808. I like it alot (looks cool and fun and rugged!!) but my commute to work is 9 miles up and down hills, on and off kerbs and less than smooth cycle paths so I kind of need to be practical as I need to get to work on time and not soaked to the skin with exertion!
Therefore the more lightweight and practical choices would be the Catrike Villager that's £1111 inc VAT and then the Trice T 26 NT £1836 inc VAT.
Does anyone know if it's possible to invoice the first £1000 to the company on the scheme and then for me to privately fund the remainder? (My company won't get the special credit licence costing £725 to allow me to buy the more expensive trikes.)
Any suggestions? Advice?
Thanks.
