Bike leasing for police services:
here’s how it works
Early shifts, late services, irregular hours, and workplaces that are not always around the corner. Working in the police force demands a lot from your people, even outside working hours. With bike leasing, you offer a mobility solution that is practical, tax-friendly, and accessible for all police service employees.
No traffic, no stress
Save time and money
Sustainable and healthy
Bike leasing for police services: how does it work exactly?
Good news: on May 13, 2026, the Belgian Council of Ministers approved a draft Royal Decree that would make bike leasing possible for all police service employees. The draft still needs to be submitted to the Council of State, but the direction is clear.
How does it work financially?
Employees can choose to build a theoretical budget based on their end-of-year bonus. That budget can then be used for bike leasing. The choice must be made before the start of the reference period used to determine the end-of-year bonus.
What if the lease amount is higher than the end-of-year bonus?
The difference is covered by the employee. If the end-of-year bonus is higher than the lease amount, the non-converted portion is simply paid out as usual.
What happens in case of resignation, retirement, or change of employer?
If the lease contract ends early because of this, the remaining lease costs are charged to the employee. Joule communicates this transparently from the start.
This is a new regulation that is still being finalized. Joule closely follows all legal developments and will support police zones and services as soon as the regulation officially comes into effect.
Less traffic on the way to work,
more energy during the workday

🕔 Irregular shifts, no fixed commute schedule?
Early shifts, late shifts, night duty: no two days in the police force are the same. A lease bike gives your people the freedom to leave whenever it suits them, without depending on public transport or a colleague with a car.

🚔 Police station not centrally located?
Not every police station is located in the city center. With an e-bike or speed pedelec, your people can easily cover those last few miles without searching for parking or waiting for a bus that may never come.

💪 Mentally demanding work deserves proper decompression!
A shift in the police force leaves its mark. A bike is not just transportation, it is also a way to decompress, clear your mind after the day, and get home feeling more refreshed. Your people will avoid rush hour, stay active, and arrive with more energy.

You ask, we answer.
Which police service employees are eligible for bike leasing?
The regulation applies to all police service employees, both operational and administrative staff, within both local and federal police services.

The draft Royal Decree was approved on May 13, 2026 and still needs to be submitted to the Council of State. As soon as the regulation officially comes into effect, you will hear it here and we will gladly guide your police zone or department step by step.
How is the bike lease budget for police services calculated?
The theoretical budget is based on the employee’s end-of-year bonus. Employees choose before the reference period whether they want to convert all or part of that bonus into a bike leasing budget.
What if the lease amount is higher than the employee’s end-of-year bonus?
The difference is covered by the employee. Joule transparently calculates the net cost beforehand so everyone can make a well-informed decision.
Which bikes can police service employees lease?
From classic e-bikes to speed pedelecs for longer commutes. Every employee chooses the bike that fits their daily ride, through Joule Local (via a nearby dealer) or Joule Mobile (delivery at home or at work).
What happens to a bike lease contract if an employee retires during the contract?
The remaining lease costs are charged to the employee. Joule communicates this clearly in advance and helps find the best approach for your service.
