Joule helpt je de perfecte fiets kiezen
⏰ Irregular working hours? Whether you need to be on site early or start your day at the office, fixed commuting times are rare in construction. With a lease bike, you leave and arrive at your own pace, without relying on traffic or public transport. Thanks to electric assistance, you arrive fresh and comfortable.

🚗 Crowded parking near the office or worksite? Parking is not always a given, especially in cities or temporary project zones. A lease bike takes you straight to the door, without searching or detours. You save time and avoid daily frustration, both at the office and on site.

🧱 Physically demanding work and long car commutes? Working in construction puts a strain on the body. Long traffic jams before and after work do not help. With an e-bike or speed pedelec, you reach your worksite smoothly and predictably, without extra strain. Joule helps you choose the bike that fits your commute and workday.
Bike leasing in the construction sector: how does it work?
Bike leasing is allowed within PC 124 and PC 200, provided the right approach is used. The available options depend on the employee’s status.
For white-collar employees
Employees with a white-collar status can use their year-end bonus to finance a bike lease. This is a commonly used and fiscally attractive solution in the construction sector.
For blue-collar workers
For blue-collar workers, bike leasing is possible via gross salary exchange, provided that the salary after deduction remains above the sector minimum wage.
Paid exactly at minimum wage?
If employees are paid exactly at minimum wage, alternative solutions may apply:
- Net salary exchange, less attractive as it results in a higher net cost
- Employer salary increase, allowing bike leasing to remain cost-neutral
- A combination of partial net salary exchange and an employer contribution
Joule reviews the options together with you and your payroll provider to ensure everything is correct and feasible.

FAQs
You ask, we answer.
How does leasing work?
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.
What's included in a bike lease?
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
What are the tax benefits of bike leasing for employers?
The lease cost is 100% tax-deductible as a business expense, with no social security contributions and no CO₂ solidarity contribution. You can organize it cost-neutrally through a gross salary exchange or a cafeteria plan. The bike allowance also remains tax- and social security–exempt within legal limits. Together, this results in a strong TCO reduction and a clear message in your ESG and CSRD reports.
How much admin work does a bike leasing plan require for employers?
Very little. With Joule Hub, quotes, contracts, and billing are automated. We provide templates, communication kits, and info sessions — less admin, more efficiency. We got your back-office.
What are the HR benefits of bike leasing for retention and employer branding?
A leased bike is a valued employee benefit that boosts retention and attracts talent. It promotes wellbeing, team energy, and strengthens your employer brand.
Can bike leasing be combined with company cars in a mobility plan?
Yes, definitely. Bike leasing and company cars can perfectly coexist within a single mobility plan. More and more employers offer both options, allowing employees to choose the most efficient, sustainable, or practical mode of transport for each trip.
An employee might use a car for long distances or client visits, and a bike for shorter commutes or city travel. This reduces parking pressure, fuel costs, and improves overall employee wellbeing.
Within a hybrid mobility strategy, Joule easily integrates bikes with other transport options such as public transport, shared cars, or pool vehicles. With the Joule Hub and a clear mobility policy, everything stays organized and hassle-free.
