Curious what you personally gain from bike leasing through your employer? This guide is written for employees: your commute, your budget, your comfort. Below you’ll discover why bike leasing is the smartest move for you—and how to get started today.
How does bike leasing work for employees in Belgium?
You pick your dream bike (from a city bike to a speed pedelec) and lease it through your employer. The monthly cost is usually deducted from your gross salary or (partly) from your year-end bonus. The result? You make smart use of tax advantages and often pay significantly less net than buying.
Translation: dream bike, yes. High upfront costs, no. 🤩
The benefits of bike leasing for you as an employee
1. Much cheaper net than buying
You spread the cost and benefit from tax advantages—so you often ride a higher-end bike for a lower net cost.

2. Healthier, lower-stress commuting
Swap traffic jams and parking stress for fresh air and time saved. With a bike, your commute becomes more predictable—and you get daily movement without adding time to your schedule.
3. You choose your bike (and your service)
Prefer a lightweight city bike, an e-bike, or a speed pedelec? It’s all possible. With Joule Mobiel, you get delivery, maintenance, and repairs at home; with Joule Lokaal, you visit your trusted local dealer. You choose what fits your life.
4. Worry-free riding: insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance
Your lease package includes what truly makes life easy: theft and damage insurance, maintenance, and 24/7 roadside assistance. You ride—we handle the rest.
5. Transparent, no surprises
You see your monthly amount and what’s included at a glance. No unexpected maintenance or repair costs within your package.
Frequently asked questions from employees
Do I have to bike every day?
No. “Regular commuting by bike” is sufficient. You set the pace.
Can I choose accessories?
Yes. Lock, helmet, bags—add them to your quote and lease them too.
What if I change jobs?
It can be arranged: return the bike, take it over, or (by agreement) transfer it—depending on your company’s policy.
