Treat yourself to the perfect bike

There's no benefit in kind, provided that the bike is used regularly for commuting and/or professional activities.

For a bicycle lease for your employees, you should check out the section as 'employer'. If you want to lease a bicycle for your business, you can. If you use the bicycle for professional activities, the VAT is recoverable and the remaining cost is tax deductible. If you only use the bike for commuting, then the cost of the bike is only tax deductible.

This is possible provided that you regularly take the bike to work.

Do you receive a bike allowance through your employer? Then you will receive this for the days you bike to work.

‍

You can, provided your file is approved after financial verification.

At Joule you can lease ànd purchase bikes. If an employer buys a bike for his employee and the employee uses the bike regularly to commute, the same (para)fiscal benefits apply.

Since bicycle leasing is a commitment for 1, 2, 3 or 4 years, we perform a financial verification based on your company data that focuses on solvency and liquidity. After approval, we immediately provide you with a digital contract. This process takes a maximum of 24 hours provided all data are available.

Our mechanics visit you at work or at home for delivery, maintenance or repairs. During the maintenance you can continue to work in peace. Our mechanics ensure that your bike rides smoothly again.

For an urgent repair we try to come by within 2 working days. If the repair is not urgent (the bike is still running), we will come by within 2 weeks.

Yes, our mobile teams travel around the country to repair your leased bike at your place of work. Joule not only has its own technical team but also a partner network of approved freelancers who come by for urgent repairs. The partner network meets the Joule quality standards and has the knowledge and spare parts to keep your bike in optimal condition.

With pickup services, you visit your local bike store and request a quote for your favorite bike and accessories.

There are three options if the employee leaves the company during the term of the lease:

• the employee purchases the bicycle for its market value at the time;
• the employee returns the bicycle upon payment of an administrative fee;
• the employee passes the bicycle to a colleague.

However, the employer is free to limit or expand these options.

At the end of the lease period, Joule will pick up the bicycle. Optionally, the cyclist can purchase the bike at market price.

Annual maintenance, comprehensive damage and theft insurance, a breakdown service subscription and a repair service.

With damage and theft insurance you are covered in case of damage due to vandalism, a fall, a collision, and (attempted) theft. If the insurance file is approved, only an insurance excess will be charged. Check whether you have an AG Insurance or AEDES package.

If you have a breakdown on the road (even a flat tire) you can call for roadside assistance. This also applies in case of (attempted) theft or an accident . You benefit from assistance:

• throughout Europe (see general terms and conditions for insured countries);
• to twice a year;
• at least 1 kilometer from your home address.

These are interventions exclusive to annual maintenance or an insurance file following damage or theft. For example, for a flat tire or a loose fender.

• Mobile: you are entitled to recovery interventions for your chosen recovery credit.
• Pick-Up: you are entitled to recovery interventions for your chosen recovery credit.

At Joule, you can choose between two maintenance packages for leased bikes:

• Mobile: the Joule mechanic comes to the workplace or your home for delivery, maintenance and repairs
• Pick-up: You pick your bike at your favorite bike store and visit them for maintenance and repairs.

Battery range depends on three crucial elements:

• Bike battery capacity: 400Wh, 500Wh, 630Wh or 1000Wh.
• Usage of battery: do you ride in eco or turbo mode?
• The weather conditions: in colder weather, the battery will not last as long.

Make sure to always put the battery inside when freezing!
