Bike Leasing

Bike Leasing in Groningen at Facebike.nl

Would you like to ride a new bicycle or electric bike without paying the full purchase price upfront? At Facebike.nl in Groningen, you can lease your new bicycle through several different bike leasing solutions.

Whether you are an employee, employer, self-employed professional, entrepreneur or private customer, we can help you find both the right bicycle and a leasing option that suits your situation.

At Facebike.nl, we work with several bike leasing partners, including:

  • LeaseGemak
  • Leasefiets.nl
  • HelloRider

This means there are several possibilities for:

  • bike leasing through your employer;
  • a company bike;
  • electric bike leasing;
  • private bike leasing;
  • business bike leasing;
  • bike leasing for self-employed professionals and entrepreneurs.

At Facebike.nl, you can choose from a large selection of bicycles and e-bikes from well-known brands. We can help you not only choose the right bicycle, but also with the lease application, delivery, maintenance and service.

Calculate Your Lease Bike

Would you like to quickly understand which leasing option may suit you and what a bicycle costing €2,000, €3,000 or €4,000 could mean financially?

At Facebike.nl, there are three main options.

  1. Lease a bike through your employer

Does your employer offer a company bike scheme?

Then bike leasing can be financially attractive.

When an employer provides a bicycle that may also be used privately, a taxable benefit of 7% of the recommended retail price of the bicycle per year normally applies in the Netherlands.

This does not mean that you directly pay 7% of the bicycle price in tax.

Instead, 7% of the recommended retail price is added to your taxable income, and you pay income tax on that amount.

Example: bicycle worth €2,000

Recommended retail price:

€2,000

7% taxable benefit:

€140 per year

At an income tax rate of, for example, 35.70%, the tax would be approximately:

€49.98 per year

That is approximately:

€4.16 per month

Example: bicycle worth €3,000

Recommended retail price:

€3,000

7% taxable benefit:

€210 per year

At an income tax rate of 35.70%:

€74.97 per year

That is approximately:

€6.25 per month

Example: bicycle worth €4,000

Recommended retail price:

€4,000

7% taxable benefit:

€280 per year

At an income tax rate of 35.70%:

€99.96 per year

That is approximately:

€8.33 per month

Please note: this is only an example of the taxable benefit.

The actual cost of your lease bike depends on factors such as:

  • the contribution from your employer;
  • your lease budget;
  • the lease agreement;
  • the lease period;
  • the leasing company;
  • the type of bicycle;
  • additional services.

If your employer contributes towards the lease costs, a bike lease through your employer can be particularly attractive.

  1. Private bike lease

Do you not have a bike leasing scheme through your employer?

Then private lease may be an interesting option.

With private leasing, you sign the lease agreement yourself.

You do not need an employer or HR department.

You choose a bicycle and pay a fixed monthly amount during the agreed lease period.

Depending on the leasing company and package, the monthly amount may include:

  • maintenance;
  • insurance;
  • repairs;
  • roadside assistance;
  • additional service.

Indicative private lease examples

For a bicycle worth approximately €2,000, a lease payment could be around:

€70–€90 per month

For a bicycle worth approximately €3,000, this could be around:

€100–€120 per month

For a bicycle worth approximately €4,000, this could be around:

€130–€150 per month

These are only indicative examples.

The final monthly amount is determined by the leasing company and depends on factors such as:

  • bicycle value;
  • lease period;
  • maintenance package;
  • insurance;
  • service package;
  • any personal contribution;
  • the terms of the leasing provider.

Send us the link or name of the bicycle and we will help you check the available leasing options.

  1. Bike leasing for self-employed professionals and businesses

Are you self-employed or running a business?

There are also several ways to lease a bicycle or e-bike for business use.

A business lease bike may be used for:

  • commuting;
  • business appointments;
  • customer visits;
  • local transport;
  • deliveries;
  • daily transport within your company.

Business bike leasing can be attractive because certain costs may, depending on your situation, be processed as business expenses.

The exact tax treatment depends on your business structure, business use and any private use.

Facebike.nl can help you choose the right bicycle and leasing structure.

For specific tax advice, we recommend consulting your accountant or tax adviser.

Which leasing option is right for you?

Through your employer

Interesting if your employer offers a bike scheme and may contribute towards the lease costs.

Private lease

Interesting if you do not want to depend on an employer and prefer a fixed monthly payment.

Self-employed & business

Interesting for entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals who want to use a bicycle for business purposes.

Depending on the leasing provider, electric cargo bikes may also qualify for leasing.

Longtail e-bike leasing

  • children;
  • luggage;
  • groceries;
  • panniers;
  • additional accessories.

For families, a longtail e-bike can be an attractive alternative to a cargo bike.

Mountain bike or road bike leasing

Depending on the conditions of your leasing provider, sports bicycles may also be included in a lease scheme.

For example:

  • mountain bikes;
  • road bikes;
  • trekking bikes;
  • hybrid bikes.

Not sure how much lease budget your employer provides?

Check your HelloRider account or ask your employer.

Leasing a bicycle through your employer

More and more employers in the Netherlands offer their employees a bike scheme or lease bicycle.

A company bicycle can be especially attractive if you regularly cycle to work.

Depending on the scheme, you may also be allowed to use the bicycle privately.

For private use of a company bicycle, the standard taxable benefit is normally 7% of the recommended retail price per year.

This can make bike leasing through an employer tax-efficient.

Employers may also choose to:

  • pay part of the lease costs;
  • pay the full lease costs;
  • provide a fixed monthly budget;
  • finance accessories;
  • cover maintenance or insurance.

The exact arrangement varies per employer.

How does employer bike leasing work at Facebike.nl?

Step 1 – Check your bike scheme

Ask your employer or HR department which bike leasing provider is used.

Also check:

  • your maximum budget;
  • whether you need to make a personal contribution;
  • which types of bicycles are allowed;
  • which accessories are allowed.

Step 2 – Choose your bicycle at Facebike.nl

Browse our selection online or visit our bicycle shop in Groningen.

We can help you choose a bicycle based on:

  • your height;
  • commuting distance;
  • intended use;
  • comfort requirements;
  • budget;
  • personal preferences.

Step 3 – Submit your lease application

Have you found your bicycle?

Then we can help you check which details are needed for the lease application.

The official approval process then takes place through your employer and/or leasing provider.

Step 4 – Approval

Your employer and/or leasing company will review the application.

Once the application has been approved, the order can be processed.

Step 5 – We prepare your bicycle

After approval, we prepare your bicycle for use.

We check, among other things:

  • brakes;
  • gears;
  • lighting;
  • tyres;
  • electric assistance;
  • overall adjustment.

After that, your lease bicycle is ready to ride.

No bike leasing scheme through your employer?

Does your employer currently not offer bike leasing?

You can ask your employer whether such a scheme can be introduced.

Bike leasing companies can often help employers with:

  • administration;
  • contracts;
  • implementation;
  • employee portals;
  • maintenance arrangements;
  • insurance.

Bike leasing can be attractive to employers as part of:

  • mobility policy;
  • sustainability policy;
  • employee benefits;
  • health and vitality programmes.

It can also encourage employees to cycle more often.

Private Bike Lease – No Employer Required

With private leasing, you do not need an employer.

You sign the lease agreement yourself with the leasing company.

You then pay a fixed monthly amount during the agreed lease period.

Private leasing may be interesting if you:

  • do not want to pay €2,000, €3,000 or €4,000 upfront;
  • prefer predictable monthly costs;
  • want to combine maintenance and insurance;
  • want to ride a new e-bike;
  • do not have access to an employer bike scheme.

The exact conditions vary by leasing provider.

Private Lease or Employer Bike Lease: Which Is Better?

That depends entirely on your personal situation.

Employer lease

May be attractive when:

  • your employer contributes towards the costs;
  • you benefit from a company bike scheme;
  • your employer offers an attractive lease budget.

Private lease

May be attractive when:

  • you do not have an employer;
  • your employer does not offer bike leasing;
  • you want to enter into a lease agreement independently;
  • you prefer a fixed monthly amount.

Self-employed or business lease

May be attractive when:

  • you are an entrepreneur;
  • you use the bicycle for business purposes;
  • you want to spread business mobility costs.
