Make the most of your company bike by including accessories in your lease
Share blog article:
Have you found your dream bike? Perfect! Then it's best to think about accessories right away, because you can lease many parts directly with the company bike and save up to 40%, just like with the bike! In this article, you will find out which accessories you can lease with your bike and what you should definitely look out for.
Do more with your company bike
The option of including the right accessories in your company bike lease provides the perfect opportunity to adapt your bike to your personal requirements and preferences. You plan to use your company bike for vacation trips? The smartphone holder makes navigation via your cell phone even easier. Do you often travel with your children? You can order child seats for the luggage carrier or the cargo bike box.
Please note that you can only lease accessories in combination with and at the same time as your company bike. Unfortunately, it is not possible to add accessories to the lease agreement at a later stage. Therefore, once you have found your dream bike, it’s best to think about which accessories you need to make cycling even more fun.
Always include a lock for your leased bike
Generally speaking, you are free to choose which accessories (if any) you want to include in your bike lease. However, there is one exception: the bike lock. This must always be included in the lease so that you can protect your company bike from theft. A high-quality lock with a minimum RRP of € 48 is contractually required. Whether you lease a U-lock, a folding lock or a chain lock to secure your bike is, of course, up to you.
Which accessories can be included in the lease?
Which bicycle accessories can be leased and which cannot? Basically, accessories that are permanently attached to the bike can be part of the lease. There is no upper price limit per accessory. Examples include mudguards, pannier racks or a bicycle bell. But what about an extra battery for your e-bike, a trailer for your dog and bike bags for your bikepacking holiday? Or a customised paint job?

Good to know: These accessories cannot be leased
Since only accessories that are permanently attached to the bike can be included in the company bike leasing contract, interior items such as helmets, clothing, cycling shoes or equipment such as tools are not included in the leasable accessories. Bike racks for the car, for example, are also not included in the leasing options. If you are unsure whether a particular accessory is eligible for leasing, our support team will be happy to help you.
