Ready to lease your bike?
Your questions,
our answers
How does bicycle purchasing work?
The organization purchases bicycles, or intervenes in a group purchase for the staff. You can also choose a maintenance contract.
Is there a minimum purchase?
No. At Joule, every company is welcome, regardless of the number of employees. Even as a freelancer without employees, you can come to us.
Can I lease a bicycle through Joule as an individual?
Unfortunately, no. A bicycle lease through Joule is only possible for companies, self-employed people or government organizations.
What is the difference between bicycle leasing and purchasing?
With bicycle leasing, you rent the bicycle. Joule remains the owner of your bike. With a purchase, on the other hand, you fully own the bike.
What is Joule?
Joule is a cycling partner for companies, independent workers and governments. Our mission is to get as many people as possible on their bikes. We take charge of the entire process of your bike plan, from concept to maintenance. We distribute more than 30 brands and have our own mechanics who deliver, maintain and repair the bikes. Minimum effort for maximum biking fun!
What are the benefits of the company bike?
We list the main benefits briefly:
- Financial: A company bike is 40% cheaper than buying a bike as an individual. As a freelancer or employer, a bike is 100% tax-deductible. As an employee, you do not pay withholding tax (no VAA or benefit in kind) and no social security contributions, and you also get a bike allowance on top.
- Functional: Say goodbye to traffic jams and stress! With an (electric) bike, you save time and can efficiently cover large distances to work.
- Healthy: Regularly biking to work is good for your health.
- Ecological: Choosing a company bike helps reduce CO2 emissions. You are not only making yourself but also the world healthier.
What are the benefits of bicycle leasing?
- Leasing a bike through your company is about 40% cheaper than buying a bike at no additional cost to the employer. You pay for a leased bike on gross wages, which means you end up paying less NSSO, employer contributions and taxes. Moreover, the cost is spread over a period of 12, 24, 36 or 48 months.
- When you lease a bike from Joule, you also hop on your bike carefree. Your bike package includes annual maintenance, damage and theft insurance, and a roadside assistance subscription. You also choose how you want your bike repaired: at home or at a bike store nearby.

Does a benefit in kind apply to the leased bicycle?
There's no benefit in kind, provided that the bike is used regularly for commuting and/or professional activities.
How can I lease a bicycle as a self-employed person?
For a bicycle lease for your employees, you should check out the section as 'employer'. If you want to lease a bicycle for your business, you can. If you use the bicycle for professional activities, the VAT is recoverable and the remaining cost is tax deductible. If you only use the bike for commuting, then the cost of the bike is only tax deductible.
Can I combine a bike lease with a company car?
This is possible provided that you regularly take the bike to work.
Do you receive a bike allowance through your employer? Then you will receive this for the days you bike to work.
Can I lease a bicycle as a self-employed person in a secondary profession?
You can, provided your file is approved after financial verification.
Can I also purchase a company bicycle?
At Joule you can lease ànd purchase bikes. If an employer buys a bike for his employee and the employee uses the bike regularly to commute, the same (para)fiscal benefits apply.
Can I combine a bike lease with a company car?
This is possible provided that you regularly take the bike to work.
Do you receive a bike allowance through your employer? Then you will receive this for the days you bike to work.
Do I qualify for bicycle leasing?
Since bicycle leasing is a commitment for 1, 2, 3 or 4 years, we perform a financial verification based on your company data that focuses on solvency and liquidity. After approval, we immediately provide you with a digital contract. This process takes a maximum of 24 hours provided all data are available.
What are the main elements of a lease?
- duration
- detailed description of the bikes
- a commitment to take good care of the bike
- contents of the bike leasing package
- conditions of insurance and breakdown cover
- maintenance and repair conditions
- agreements around early termination
How can I calculate bike leasing as a self-employed professional?
Calculating bike leasing as a self-employed professional works differently than for employees. The simulation focuses less on gross and net salary and more on the monthly leasing cost and tax deductibility. In the calculator, you enter the bike price and lease term to get an estimate of the lease price. Bike leasing can be fiscally attractive, but the exact cost depends on your accounting and how you use the bike.
Hoeveel bedraagt de fietsvergoeding in 2026?
Maximaal 0,37 euro per kilometer, fiscaal vrijgesteld tot 3.690 euro per jaar.

- the employee passes the bicycle to a colleague.
However, the employer is free to limit or expand these options.
