5 benefits of leasing a refurbished bike

Leasing is hot. Refurbished is smart. Combine the two and you’ve struck gold.

Why lease a brand-new bike when a refurbished one is just as good, often for a lot less, and far more sustainable?

Here are five reasons why leasing a refurbished bike might just be the smartest move you’ll make this year.

1. Budget-friendly without sacrificing quality

A refurbished bike typically costs 30% to 60% less than a new one. And because you pay less VAT and lower leasing costs, your monthly payment becomes even more attractive. Yet you still get premium brands in top condition. Think of it as the Porsche of e-bikes at the price of a Dacia.

2. Sustainable choice, zero hassle

Leasing a refurbished bike extends the life of a product that would otherwise end up as waste. And the best part? You don’t have to lift a finger. No hunting for parts, no fixing up a secondhand frame. Just lease, ride, and enjoy an eco-friendly mobility choice — minus the effort.

3. Fully inspected and quality guaranteed

Refurbished doesn’t mean “fingers crossed.” Quite the opposite. Partners like Upway carefully inspect every bike, checking over 20 quality points. Worn parts are replaced, the electrical system is tested, and brakes are fine-tuned. The result? A bike that feels brand new, and in most cases, practically is.

4. Fast delivery, no endless waiting

While some new bikes can take weeks (or even months 🫠) to arrive, refurbished models are often ready to ride. Leasing through your employer? Your bike can be delivered within a few days, fully assembled and complete with accessories.

5. Less stress, more freedom

Leasing means no large upfront investment, no maintenance worries, and no hassle reselling later. Combine that with a refurbished model, and you’ll literally pedal through life with fewer worries. You’re doing good for your wallet and the planet. Bonus karma points? Check! ✅

Refurbished leasing: not just for “eco-warriors”

A refurbished lease bike isn’t a compromise, it’s a smart decision. You get all the perks of a new bike (comfort, warranty, and quality) with the sustainability of reuse. Through Joule, in collaboration with Upway and Ebis, refurbished bike leasing is now more accessible than ever for both companies and employees across Belgium. Less waste. Less waiting. More bikes on the road. Together, we’re pushing circular mobility forward, one pedal stroke at a time.
