Spectrum: Bike leasing as a company bike is becoming increasingly popular in this country. It is an attractive opportunity for companies to do something for environmental awareness and the health and satisfaction of their employees, and employees are happy about high-quality bicycles at very attractive conditions. With www.mein-leasingrad.de, a new provider is now starting business.
It feels like the company bike is still deep in the shadow of the company car. But in the course of the steady rise of e-mobility, a growing awareness of the environment and one's own health, the company bike is becoming an issue for more and more employees. With www.mein-leasingrad.de, a new player in the business bike business is starting up these days - this is a cooperation between Hermann Hartje KG, which includes bicycle brands such as Conway, Victoria and i:SY, and the established leasing provider Baron Mobility Service GmbH (BMS).
The company bike principle – actually almost TOO simple
In many places, however, there is still uncertainty when it comes to company bikes and employees in particular are wondering how such a process works in detail. In the case of mein-dienstrad.de, the cooperating dealer does most of the work and paperwork. As a lessee, you can find out more directly there and also choose a bike from the brands Conway, Contoura, i:SY, Tern or Victoria (minimum price: €595). The dealer can initiate the leasing process with a mouse click via an automated process – if the employer already has a declaration of consent, the contract is sent directly to the employer. If this declaration is not yet available, BMS will contact you and provide information about the conditions and advantages of the leasing program.
If the leasing contract is concluded, these are treated as tax benefits for the employee through salary conversion. Whether the employer pays part or all of the installments depends on the individual case. Only the depreciation of the company bike as a monetary benefit according to the well-known 1% rule remains for the employee. To clear up a misunderstanding at this point: private use of the bicycle is expressly permitted allowed.
At the end of the 36-month leasing contract, the employee can take over the entire package for a favorable residual value or, of course, return it and opt for a new leased bike.
Optional services: insurance, maintenance or accessories
A very convenient and undoubtedly worthwhile option for many employees when leasing via mein-dienstrad.de is putting together an individual package. In addition to comprehensive insurance, this can also include maintenance contracts and even bicycle accessories.
