How does leasing work?

The process can vary from one leasing company to another, but generally involves the following steps:

Choosing the bike: You select the bike that suits you. If needed, KOMUT is here to help you choose the ideal bike.
Quote: We draw up a quote for the bike you have chosen. This quote is sent to the leasing company, which will present you with a leasing offer.
Employer approval: Your employer reviews and approves the leasing proposal.
Collecting the bike: Once the proposal is approved, you can collect your bike from your preferred KOMUT store.

These steps are generally the standard process, but specific details may vary depending on the leasing company chosen.

What are the financial benefits of a lease bike?

The financial benefits of leasing a bike are many. By swapping your company car for an (electric) company bike, you benefit from 100% tax deductibility, applicable to both the purchase and the rental of the bike, as well as all associated accessories and servicing.

It is also worth discussing a possible tax-free cycling allowance with your employer. Although this allowance is not compulsory for employers, it is a tax-efficient way to reward you, with the amount decided by your employer. In 2026, the tax-free part of this allowance is capped at €0.37 per kilometre and €3,700 per year. Any amount above these limits is taxable.

Moreover, unlike a company car, private use of the bike is unrestricted. You are not taxed on a benefit in kind for the kilometres you ride in your free time, a significant difference from a company car.

How much does a lease bike cost?

The cost of a lease bike depends on several factors, such as the terms of the contract and the type of bike you choose. The exact cost can be calculated taking these into account. KOMUT works closely with bike leasing specialists, and we are available to give you personalised advice.

Leasing is paid from your gross monthly salary or through a cafeteria plan, which makes it considerably cheaper than buying the bike outright. It is a financially advantageous option that makes your new bike more affordable.
