Reading time: 5 min · By the KOMUT Bikes team

In Flemish education, staff can turn all or part of their gross year-end bonus into a lease bike. A great way to ride a quality e-bike or cargo bike. Here is how it works and how we help.

In short

  • Paid with your gross year-end bonus.
  • E-bike, cargo bike, speed pedelec: almost anything goes.
  • Private use included, not just for getting to school.
  • Free advice and test rides in our 3 stores.

01

The principle: your year-end bonus becomes a bike

Each eligible staff member can put part or all of their gross year-end bonus, called the ‘flexbudget’, towards leasing a bike. This amount is taken before tax. Any remaining bonus is paid out as usual.

  • The scheme covers staff paid by AGODI or AHOVOKS, including Dutch-speaking schools in Brussels.
  • Your institution must have a contract with a leasing company.
  • You can use the bike freely: commuting, leisure, holidays.

What about the federal civil service?

Federal civil servants will also be able to put part of their year-end bonus towards a lease bike, under a scheme announced for 2026. Ask your HR department.
