What should you look for when choosing a bike leasing partner?
Choosing a bike leasing partner shouldn’t be based on gut feeling. Behind every lease are administration, regulations, service, and follow-up. As an HR manager, you want clarity and a partner who actively thinks along with you.At Joule, we believe in 'We Got Your Back / Bike': we don’t just arrange the bike, we take care of everything around it.
Below, discover what to look for when choosing the right bike leasing partner.
Choosing a bike leasing partner may seem simple. Until you realize what’s really involved.
Tax regulations, sector agreements, payroll integration, service quality, and communication with employees: a bike plan is more than offering a bike. It requires a mobility policy that is legally sound, administratively manageable, and attractive for employees. That’s why you don’t just choose a provider, you choose a partner.
At Joule, we believe in 'We Got Your Back / Bike'. We take care not only of the bike, but also of the structure behind it. This way, HR keeps a clear overview, employees receive smooth support, and everything stays compliant within the Belgian framework.
A strong bike leasing partner stands out through a complete package. At Joule, we combine flexibility, smart tools, personal support, and sustainable choices in one integrated approach. Below, you can see what that means in practice.

A lease package with everything included
With Joule, bike leasing means clarity. No separate modules or fine print, but one complete package. Everything is included, so you and your employees can simply ride without worries.
The bike (fully customizable) and accessories
An annual service budget of €150, €200, €300, or €400 for maintenance and repairs
Comprehensive damage and theft insurance
24/7 roadside assistance
Delivery and service at home or through your local bike dealer
With Joule, you decide how bike leasing is organized. With Joule Local, employees visit their preferred bike dealer nearby, choose from a nearly unlimited selection, and have maintenance handled by a trusted expert who knows their bike. Today, you can choose from around 1,400 dealers in Belgium. With Joule Mobile, everything happens online. Employees select high-quality A-brands from our portfolio, we deliver directly, and our mobile repair service comes on site. Fast, efficient, and fully managed.
A bike portfolio that grows with quality
At Joule, we continuously refine and upgrade our in-house portfolio. We deliberately choose reliable components such as hub gears, powerful Bosch or Shimano motors, and disc brakes to guarantee quality and technical efficiency. By standardizing intelligently, we simplify spare parts management and repairs, which strengthens aftersales service and reduces downtime. At the same time, we expand our offer with more comfort, stronger motors, and higher battery capacities, so every ride becomes smoother and more sustainable.
Flexible lease terms
Maybe you know you will ride your speed pedelec daily for the next three years, or perhaps you only need a bike for one year before moving abroad. While standard leasing often locks you into 36 or 48 months, Joule offers additional flexibility. You can choose a lease term of 12, 24, 36, or 48 months.
Refurbished bikes: sustainable, affordable, and ready to ride
A refurbished lease bike combines lower leasing costs with guaranteed quality. Every bike is professionally inspected, fully serviced, and made road-ready again. You benefit from the same leasing structure and support as with a new bike, but at a sharper price and with a smaller environmental footprint. An added advantage is immediate availability, so you can get on the road without long waiting times.
The social bike: leasing with social impact
With the social bike, you combine mobility with social impact. This Oxford bike is assembled and maintained in local social employment workshops, where people with limited access to the labor market gain valuable work experience. The bike is collected through Joule Local and comes in one carefully selected configuration, supporting the social economy while offering a unique leasing story.
A strong partner network around bike leasing
At Joule, we are not just building bike leasing solutions, we are building an ecosystem that truly moves mobility forward. That is why we collaborate closely with social secretariats such as Attentia, Besox, Cipal Schaubroeck, Group S, Liantis, ORBISS, SD Worx, Securex, and Sodalis, and with HR and reward platforms such as EY, KPMG, Mbrella, Offr, and Payflip. Our ecosystem also includes HR partners Effectis and Upscape, mobility players Decathlon, E-bis, Lucien, Upway, VSV, and Valckenier Bike, and federations such as Dentius, Domus Medica, Mederi, SSMG, VBZV, and VeDa.
Together, we organize webinars, events, and content initiatives, stay closely aligned with market developments, and ensure seamless payroll integrations. Because better commuting is something we build together.
Seamless integration with all HR and payroll tools
When integrated, the Joule Hub connects directly to your payroll system. Once a lease quote is approved, all relevant data flows automatically into payroll. You immediately see the impact on salary or year-end bonuses without manual input. Less administration, full transparency, and more energy for HR to focus on what matters most.
The Joule hub: fleet management platform
With our fleet management platform, the Joule Hub, HR has everything in one clear portal. Approve quotes, track deliveries, manage invoices, and monitor employee lease status in one place. No scattered emails or spreadsheets, just one central overview that brings clarity and control to your bike policy.
The Joule app: everything in your pocket
For riders, there is the Joule app. Track your bike status, request maintenance in just a few clicks, or contact roadside assistance instantly. No searching for contact details, just direct access to everything related to your lease bike.
Personal support that is truly personal
At Joule, you do not deal with anonymous ticket systems. You reach real people by phone and receive a dedicated customer success manager who follows your file from start to finish. One single point of contact who knows your organization and acts quickly when needed.

Sustainability at our core
Sustainability is embedded in how we operate at Joule. We participate in the VOKA Sustainability Charter 2025 and continue that commitment in 2026, focusing on environment, social, and governance. Concretely, we analyze our CO₂ impact, invest in energy efficiency and sustainable inventory management, use reusable packaging materials, and deliberately select high-quality components such as Bosch and Shimano systems to extend the lifespan of our bikes.
We support social enterprises such as E-bis, actively promote preventive maintenance to strengthen circularity, and collaborate with Belgian suppliers like VDP Parts and Dewo. Internally, we invest in talent development, safety, and employee well-being, and through NPS feedback and the Commuters’ Club, we continuously improve with full transparency. For us, improving commuting also means improving how we do business.
Everything went smoothly. No extra paperwork, Joule handled it all. Very satisfied with the service.
