Leasing e-bikes or bicycles for employees: affordable leasing instead of expensive purchasing

While millions of Germans are stuck in traffic jams or use crowded public transport every day, over 2.1 million employees have already discovered a clever alternative: e-bike leasing through their employer. The secret lies in salary conversion —a trick that suddenly makes your dream bike affordable. Instead of buying the e-bike at full price, the monthly leasing rate is deducted directly from your gross salary. This reduces your taxable income and automatically saves you money on taxes and social security contributions.

Bicycle and e-bike leasing for employees has long been more than just a trend—it is a smart solution for modern mobility that is easy on both the wallet and the environment.

Benefits for employees with bicycle and e-bike leasing

Up to 40% savings compared to purchasing

With company bike leasing, you don't buy the bike directly, but rent it through your employer. As part of your salary conversion, you pay the leasing rate directly from your gross salary. This significantly reduces your taxes and social security contributions. You save up to 40% compared to the retail price. An e-bike that costs €3,000 often only costs you €1,800 to €2,000 net when you lease it.

Unrestricted private use

Your company bike is available 24/7 – for commuting, weekend trips, or shopping. The so-called 0.25% rule makes private use particularly attractive from a tax perspective. You only pay a minimal monetary benefit for unlimited private use.

How does bicycle leasing through your employer work?

With company bike leasing, the bike legally belongs to your employer. However, they allow you to use it freely during the 36-month leasing period. In return, you pay the monthly leasing installment from your gross salary. It's basically as if you were buying the bike through your employer without it officially belonging to you. At the end of the lease agreement, you can purchase your leased e-bike for its residual value or return it.
