Leasing SIMPLON bikes as an employee

Company bikes are en vogue! The number of companies which are offering employees an opportunity to lease bikes is constantly rising. Accordingly, there are now numerous providers that specialise in bike leasing arrangements.

In addition to the environmental aspect, bike leasing is becoming increasingly popular due to its cost benefits for employees: if a company offers a job bike option, employees can save 30 to 40 percent compared to buying a new bike in the conventional way.

Are you passionate about biking and enthusiastic about the idea of being able to use your bike both professionally and privately? We explain the bike leasing process below.

Step 1: Consult with your employer

When you are interested in bike leasing, first clarify with your employer whether the company has exisiting contracts with bike leasing providers. Should that be the case, it makes sense to also ask whether your company covers additional costs for insurance or regular inspections.

Step 2: Choose a bike

As soon as you have the go-ahead from your employer, you can choose a bike - either directly from the bike leasing provider or from a SIMPLON dealer that cooperates with the leasing provider. Leasing providers are usually networked with numerous bike dealers. One provider, for example, is bikeleasing.at, with a dealer network of over 7,000 partners in Germany and Austria.

By the way, it doesn't matter whether the bike of your choice has an electric motor or not: you decide which model is right for you. However, one criterion is usually set by the employer - the price range of the purchase bike in which the leasing bike may fall. While there is no typical or even legally stipulated upper price limit experience shows that many companies set the limit at €5,000.

Hint: Do you think that the leasing option could enable you to finally fulfil your dream of owning a SIMPLON bike? Below you will find a selection of SIMPLON models that are priced below €5,000 (NB. Particular configuation options could push the total price over €5,000).

Step 3: Book additional services

It makes sense to take out insurance so that you are optimally protected. Whether for theft, accidents or repairs - leasing providers offer a wide range of options. Choose the insurance package that is either approved by your employer or that suits you best.

Note: With some leasing providers, certain services are mandatory. At bikeleasing.at, for example, comfort insurance against theft and damage to the bike is mandatory.

Step 4: Sign the bike leasing contract

As soon as the bike and the corresponding additional services have been selected, your employer will receive the contract from the leasing provider. This contract sets out the conditions of the bike leasing agreement. In addition to the regulations on the deduction of the leasing instalment, the agreed term is also part of the contract.

As soon as the contract has been approved by you and your employer, you can configure your new company bike.
