Company bike leasing: A trend conquers the working world
Hello dear i:SY fans,
Today we have a really exciting topic for you: company bike leasing! More and more people are deciding to lease their bike for work - and this has some impressive advantages. We have taken the most important points from a current newspaper article and summarized them for you.
Why company bike leasing is so attractive
Imagine your employer leasing a bike for you and the leasing payments are paid directly from your gross salary. This means less tax and more net income remains from your gross salary. You can save up to 40 percent of the cash purchase price! This is particularly interesting if you want to buy a high-quality bike that might otherwise be outside your budget.
Premium bicycles thanks to leasing
The possibility of saving a lot of money through leasing means that many people opt for more expensive models. While regular bike shops sell bikes for around 2,800 euros on average, the average price for leased bikes is around 1,000 euros higher. E-bikes are particularly popular: over 80 percent of leased bikes are now electrically assisted. It's no wonder that many people opt for a high-quality model - after all, you get a lot of bike for your money.
Booming market despite challenges
Company bike leasing is experiencing a real boom. Since 2019, the number of leased bikes has almost tripled. Many providers now have millions of bikes on the road. And this despite the fact that the bicycle market has experienced some ups and downs in recent years - do you remember the supply bottlenecks during the Corona pandemic? But company bike leasing is unfazed by this and continues to grow steadily. Many companies are now firmly committed to this model because it offers them and their employees clear advantages.
Criticism and adjustments: Focus on fairness
Of course, there are also critical voices, especially from bicycle dealers. They criticize the high discounts demanded by the leasing providers. These are between four and six percent and have been increased in an already uncertain market situation. But many providers have responded to the criticism and launched major initiatives: on the one hand, there are subsidies for the sale of cargo bikes, which were particularly affected, and on the other hand, dealers who offer outstanding service are supported. The aim is to make the cooperation fair and to maintain high service quality.
Luxury on two wheels
Have you ever wondered how much the most expensive leased bike cost? The upper limit is 14,999 euros, and there are actually models that come close to this limit. From high-end racing bikes to mountain bikes and luxury cargo bikes - the variety is impressive. For real bike lovers, company bike leasing is a perfect way to fulfill a dream on two wheels.
