At Lease a Bike you can choose any bike from € 499 and up, with a free choice for all brands and types. From city to electric bike and mountain to racing bike: everything is possible, as long as it has two wheels. Even a speed pedelec is one of the options.

Where are employees able to buy a lease bicycle?

At Lease a Bike you are able to choose from over 1250 bicycle dealers throughout Belgium. This could be a local store around the corner, or a specialty store somewhere in the country. You are also free to contact all these bicycle dealers for maintenance. Would you like to know which bicycle dealers are near? Simply search via our dealer locator.

Is it possible to add some accessories to the bike?

Yes, that's possible and it is also included in the lease price. Anything that can be attached to a bicycle, will be leased with the bicycle. A helmet and lock can of course be leased. Clothing and GPS computers are not allowed.

Are there costs for the employer to become a Lease a Bike customer?

Joining Lease a Bike is free of charge.

How could an employer contribute to a bicycle lease?

Lease a Bike offers three different scenarios for offering a lease bike to employees. 1. Employer invests - The employer pays the full lease costs 2. Shared investment - Employer and employee determine the distribution of costs. 3. Employer facilitates - The employee pays the full lease costs.

How can my employees pay for the lease costs?

Together with the employee are you free to choose to exchange the compensation elements they have available for the lease costs. Some examples of those elements are: 13th month, gross salary, downgrade of the commercial vehicle or a bonus.

Is it possible to do an early termination of the contract?

Yes, this is possible, please contact VTB@lease-a-bike.com for more information.

What happens if an employee leaves the company during a lease contract?

Employer and employee mutually conclude an addendum to the employment contract before the employee is capable of starting a lease contract. Lease a Bike provides an example of this in which agreements are included in the event of premature termination. In this construction, the employer first makes sure the remaining lease funds are fully covered, to recount it to the employee. t is also possible for the employee to take over the bicycle, whereby the set price is deducted from the remaining lease installments. If an employer does not include this, Lease a Bike offers three other options to minimize the risk for the employer: 1. Employer has the option to pay off the remaining lease installments (without service and insurance costs); 2. Employer finds another employee to take over the existing lease contract; 3. Employer can return a maximum of 4% of the active lease contracts to the lease company free of charge and without penalty.

What happens when the lease contract of 36 months ends?

We make an offer for the employee to take over the bicycle for +- 15% of the value (new). The exact amount cannot be determined on forehand and depends on the final condition of the bicycle. If the employee is not interested in taking over the bicycle, we will take the bicycle back - free of charge. There is never a risk for the employee or employer here.

Who owns the bicycle during the lease period?

The lease company is the owner of the bicycle during the entire lease period.

My bike is stolen, what do I do?

You can find the number of the frame on our platform. Afterwards you can go to a Lease a Bike dealer and together you file the digital theft report. You will receive a replacement bike for a maximum of 7 days. The dealer will make sure you will a receive a bew bike. Luckily for you we will let your current contract running. There is no own risk for theft.

There is damage to my bicycle, what should I do?

If you have any damage to your bicycle, go to your Lease a Bike dealer as soon as possible and fill in the damage form together. If the bicycle dealer cannot repair the damage immediately, you are entitled to a replacement bicycle for a maximum of 7 days (note: only if you lease an e-bike or speed pedelec). There is no own risk on damage claims.

How do we process the lease contracts in our payroll?

To make the process as easy to manage as possible all lease contracts always start on the 1st of the month. If, in example, an employee picks up a bicycle the 22nd of the month, the contract starts on the 1st of the following month. For an overview of all active lease contracts, you can get an export from our platform. We provide this monthly.

Benefits of being a Lease a Bike dealer

Earn more money, faster

As a Lease a Bike dealer, you will attract new customers who spend more (the average price of a lease bike is €4,700) because employees who are allowed to lease a bike through their employer easily pay 40% less. The choice for a more expensive bike is then quickly made. Just calculate how much more revenue you would generate if all your customers leased a bike from Lease a Bike.

Increased customer retention

With a lease bike, you don't have customers who just buy a bike and then never come back. We ensure long-term customer retention and a guaranteed additional source of annual income thanks to the included maintenance package. Lease customers visit your shop more often for maintenance and repairs. And the invoice? You send that to Lease a Bike!

No paper work

We have automated the entire leasing process. No more hassle with paper quotes or waiting for approvals. As a Lease a Bike dealer, you get free access to our unique platform that allows employees to ride off on their new bikes right away. You have less work to do and you receive the money for the bike within 24 hours of entering it on the platform.

Higher margin

Lease a Bike attracts more spending customers by connecting large companies and sending their employees to your store. But you can also connect companies to Lease a Bike yourself, in which case you pay 0% commission on all leasing contracts concluded through you. Nice, right? Get your own network in your neighborhood on bikes and earn more!
