How bike leasing works for employers at Joule

Step 1

Designing your bike plan together

We start with the essentials: a bike policy and operational process that perfectly fit your organization. We coordinate with your payroll provider to keep administration smooth. That way, you set solid foundations for your bike plan from day one.

Step 2

Kick-off and activation

A bike plan only comes alive when employees are on board. That’s why we organize info sessions, test rides, and inspiring comms that spark real enthusiasm. As an HR or Fleet Manager, you’ll get hands-on guidance during onboarding, and all admin is handled through our smart fleet manager tool, the Joule Hub.

Step 3

Moving forward, even after delivery

With Joule, you don’t just get a plan on paper. We remain your go-to partner for support, comms, and activations. Whenever needed, we help refresh your plan and adapt it to changing needs—keeping your bike plan successful and sustainable.

Your questions, our answers

It is best to choose your service budget according to two parameters:

  • Your bike category: for an electric bike, we recommend a Standard service budget, a speed pedelec that has been used daily will require Premium or Advanced
  • Your use; if you only use the bike once a week, a Basic service budget will be more suitable than a Premium service budget.

Do you need help choosing the service budget? No problem. Our employees will be happy to guide you through it. You can contact them here.

Bike leasing is renting a bicycle, accessories, and complementary services for a specific duration. With operational bike leasing, you get an (electric) bicycle with a complete service package. A standard bike lease lasts for 36 months. At Joule, you can choose a leasing term of 12, 24, 36, or 48 months. The package includes annual maintenance, damage and theft insurance, and a breakdown assistance subscription. You pay a monthly lease price for this. As an employer, you can then provide the leased bike to an employee.

If you take a bike lease through your employer, you can lease all accessories within the categories: locks, helmets, and bike bags. Textiles or other gadgets are not applicable within a salary swap. As a freelancer, however, you can lease bike materials for professional purposes.

No. At Joule, every company is welcome, regardless of the number of employees. Even as a freelancer without employees, you can come to us.

Yes! You can lease your bike through the local dealer:

  • You can find an overview of Joule's fixed partners via this link.
  • If your dealer is not yet listed, send a quote to orders@joule.be , and we will contact your bike dealer.

Yes! You can choose a bike at your local dealer or via the offer with mobile service on Joule's website.

This is possible provided that you regularly take the bike to work.

Do you receive a bike allowance through your employer? Then you will receive this for the days you bike to work.

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Joule bike leasing is an offer for companies, freelancers, and public services. As an individual, you can take out a credit or bike loan at your local bank.

The standard duration is 36 months. With Joule, you also have the opportunity to enter into a bike lease for 12, 24, 36, and 48 months. You choose the duration as an employer or as a freelancer.

With bike leasing, you rent the bike as an employer or freelancer. Joule remains the owner of your bike. With a purchase, on the other hand, you are the full owner of the bike.

A service budget is a budget that can be used for maintenance and repairs. You can choose which service budget you want with your bike. The service budget is included in your leasing price and thus enjoys the same fiscal and parafiscal benefits as the rest of your bike lease.

Method Service budget/year Recommended category Recommended kilometers
Basic: €150 City bikes 0-1000km
Standard: €200 Electric city bikes with daily use 1000-2000km
Premium: €300 Daily use of speed pedelecs 2000-5000km
Advanced: €400 Daily use of cargo bikes, race bikes, and mountainbikes +5000km or heavy duty


A service budget is not refundable after the end of the lease. However, you can use the remaining balance for additional maintenance and repairs or for purchasing bike accessories.

  • If you have not used up your service budget by the end of the first (or subsequent) year of your lease contract, this remaining budget will be added to the service budget for the following year.
  • If the lease is terminated early, any excess of the already accumulated budget will be charged separately.

We list the main benefits briefly:

  • Financial: A company bike is 40% cheaper than buying a bike as an individual. As a freelancer or employer, a bike is 100% tax-deductible. As an employee, you do not pay withholding tax (no VAA or benefit in kind) and no social security contributions, and you also get a bike allowance on top.
  • Functional: Say goodbye to traffic jams and stress! With an (electric) bike, you save time and can efficiently cover large distances to work.
  • Healthy: Regularly biking to work is good for your health.
  • Ecological: Choosing a company bike helps reduce CO2 emissions. You are not only making yourself but also the world healthier.  

With a bike lease, you get value for your money. What is included in the package?

  • A bike of your choice with optional accessories. At Joule, you can freely choose a bike from your local bike dealer or directly from Joule, with mobile service:
    • Joule Local: choose a bike from your local bike dealer. Joule collaborates with nearly every local bike dealer. An overview can be found here!
    • Joule Direct: if you want to enjoy a bike that is delivered, maintained, and repaired at your door, then choose a bike from the Joule Direct offer!
  • A service voucher for maintenance and repair. You choose your budget for bike maintenance and repairs: Basic (€150/year), Standard (€200/year), Premium (€300/year), or Advanced (€400/year). Not sure about your choice? The employees of Joule are eager to help you!
  • Comprehensive damage and theft insurance.
  • A 24/7 breakdown assistance subscription
