Bike Leasing

Bike and e-bike leasing made easy with BMO

Found your dream bike in our range and prefer to lease it through your employer instead of buying it outright? Then you’re in the right place.

We’ll show you how bike leasing works, what benefits it offers, and which partners you can use to lease your bike from us.

What is bike leasing?

With bike leasing, you choose your desired bike and pay for it through monthly lease payments via your employer as a company vehicle. Of course, you can also use your bike for leisure — it’s not just meant for commuting. Depending on the lease term, you’ll pay 36 to 48 monthly lease payments. If your leased bike is still your dream bike at the end of the lease, you can buy it from your employer for the residual value and it becomes your property. If you want to lease a different bike after your lease ends, the process starts all over again.

How does bike leasing work?

After the contract is signed with the leasing partner and your employer, your monthly lease payments are directly deducted from your gross salary. Bicycles and e-bikes benefit from the same tax advantages as company cars. The company bike is taxed via salary conversion at 0.25% of the gross purchase price. This way, you can save up to 40% of the acquisition costs.

Besides bike leasing through salary conversion, employers can also fully cover the company bike as a salary bonus. In this case, there is no deduction from the gross salary, and employees can use the company bike completely free of charge.

What are the benefits of bike leasing?

  • Tax benefits

    Your employer leases the bike, and the monthly lease payment is deducted from your gross salary. By using salary conversion, you save money—usually between 20% and 40% compared to buying it outright.

  • Cost savings

    Unlike a direct purchase, the full purchase price is not due all at once. Instead, the monthly lease payments are simply deducted from your gross salary, spreading the financial burden evenly over the entire leasing period.

  • Flexibility

    At the end of the leasing period, you can buy the bike at a reduced residual value or sign a new lease agreement for a new bike.

  • Insurance coverage

    You can easily insure your desired bike leased through the contract against theft, material and manufacturing defects, accident damage, and total loss.

  • Flexible use

    You can also use your leased bike for private purposes.

  • Any bike can be leased.

    Whether it’s a gravel bike, mountain bike, e-bike, or city bike.

  • Bike accessories

    Accessories like pedals, lights, or locks can also be leased.

  • Environmental consciousness

    You protect the environment by riding a bike.
