Frequently Asked Questions
about leasing a bike
Leasing through Lease a Bike (Bakfiets Centrum partner) means you don’t have to make a large upfront investment. You enjoy complete peace of mind — including maintenance and insurance — and you pay through your gross salary, saving up to 40% compared to buying a bike yourself.
The National Bike Plan allows employees to get a bike through their employer with tax benefits. This means you pay for the bike using your gross salary, so you don’t pay income tax on that amount. The result is an average saving of around 40% on the purchase price of your bike.
Ask your employer if they participate in the National Bike Plan and what conditions apply.
Yes, within the National Bike Plan you can usually choose from a variety of bikes — including city bikes, e-bikes, and cargo bikes. However, it’s important to check with your employer, as they set the specific terms and any possible limitations.
After 36 months, your lease contract ends. You can then choose to lease a new bike or purchase your current one at its remaining value. Lease a Bike will contact you in time to make this decision, making it easy to either switch or buy out your bike.
Yes, with Lease a Bike you can include accessories such as a helmet, lock, child seat, or bike bag up to a certain amount. These are added to your total lease price, so you can hit the road fully equipped.
As a self-employed professional or business owner, you can deduct the monthly lease costs of your bike as business expenses, reducing your taxable profit and therefore your income tax.
