Has the scheme been quietly dropped?
I just looked at the link on the energy saving trust site and the page it directed me to is unavailable. A404 whatever that means.

404 is a code for Not Found
https://fixyourbikevoucherscheme.est.org.uk/ has an explanation that all have sold out. Deleting the application form instead of replacing it with a message is bad webmastering, though.

Re: Fix your bike voucher
The fourth round of vouchers has all gone so they seem to have closed the initial registrations bit of the site, but there is FAQ info here:
https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/advice ... heme-faqs/
that links to this Government site:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/fix-your-bi ... -a-voucher
which suggests they don't know if they will be having another round of vouchers yet.
(oh, my post crossed with mjr's post, but says roughly the same thing....)

Re: Fix your bike voucher
I assume the money they allocated to it was for the last financial year, now we are in a new one the money is no longer available to fund it

Re: Fix your bike voucher
Walked through halfwitts last weekend as a tyre at a reasonable price for one bicycle I fixed for someone, lots of junkers that needed more than £50 and never worth it.
Visited LBS to buy some tyres and tubes for my raleigh superbe and told they are refusing to fix numerous bikes as people bring a Unviable heap and expect a £50 complete overhaul.
Woud have been better to club vouchers together for a new bike
