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.
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.
Your leased e-bike is fully insured from day one —against theft, accidents, and even wear and tear. With our premium package, there are no additional costs due to deductibles. Our network of specialist retail partners handles repairs directly.
You have complete freedom of choice in terms of brands and models at over 5,000 specialist retail partners throughout Germany. From city e-bikes to sporty e-mountain bikes—choose exactly the bike that suits you. Expert advice and test rides are of course included.
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.
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.
Ask your HR department whether your company already offers company bike leasing with eurorad. If so, they will provide you with a link to register for employees at eurorad. Do you work for a smaller company without a framework agreement? Then our immediate order is the perfect solution.
Your employer will activate your account on the eurorad portal. Once activated, you will have access to all functions and can manage the order for your dream bike.
Take your personal order token to one of our specialist retail partners. There you will receive expert advice and can test ride various models: from city e-bikes to sporty e-mountain bikes – the selection is huge.
Once you have chosen your bike, sign a 36-month usage contract for the e-bike with your employer. We will automatically deduct the monthly leasing rate from your salary. As soon as the contract comes into effect, you can start riding your new e-bike.
A high-quality e-bike will fundamentally change your commute to work. You will be more flexible than with a car or public transportation, and cycling is good for your health. However, a high-quality and reliable e-bike comes at a price—this is where e-bike leasing for employees comes in:
With small monthly payments, even premium models become affordable if you want them to be. You don't have to compromise on quality, comfort, or features.
When purchasing directly, you must also take out expensive insurance or risk being left with high costs in the event of damage. If you lease your bicycle from your employer, comprehensive protection is already included. Theft, damage, even normal wear and tear—everything is covered, depending on the insurance package, even without a deductible.
E-bike technology is developing rapidly. When the lease expires after 36 months, you can easily switch to a brand-new model. However, if you are satisfied with your bike, you can also purchase it for its residual value.
When you lease a bicycle from your employer, you automatically take out bicycle insurance. The costs are included in your lease payment. Some companies subsidize bicycle and e-bike leasing for their employees by covering the insurance premiums or part of the lease payment.
