I have checked it out with the Department for Transport and the guidance rules of February 2011 state that: "Employees can choose any bike - including electric bikes, folding bikes and other specialist cycles, - providing it can be provided by one of Cyclescheme’s 1,600 Partner Shops."...

Thanks for the advice. I didn't actually say that I wanted a new one, nor do I expect to find a new one. But I did think that it was worth a shot asking the experts here as in the past Retrobike folk have been incredibly helpful and encouraging. In terms of effort I think that my Highpath...
