There are two ways to do this:

1: You offer the bike plan for free. This is possible because you have lower social security contributions, and you use the cost savings for your lease expenses. You also use the travel expenses saved compared to lease cars and public transportation subscriptions to cover your bike plan.

2: You encourage the bike plan by providing a reimbursement of €30 to €50. Your colleague pays the rest + 7% addition. You offer this as a secondary employment benefit, as part of your mobility budget, or from your budget for a lease car.

1: No costs, but a bike plan 

You can offer a bike plan without a contribution. Most employers reinvest the benefit in employer premiums and pass on the VAT advantage. Often, you can invest without costs starting from €25. Questions? Call us, and we'll be happy to assist you.

2: A bike plan linked to your business objectives 

If you have a vitality policy, the bike plan fits in nicely. Many employers allocate an additional contribution or allow colleagues to use the vitality budget for the bike plan.

3: Outside of the WCR/WKR 

The addition, providing the bike, and setting up the salary administration correctly fall outside the Work Cost Regulation. Any employer contributions also fall outside.

4: Tax benefit 

If your colleague pays part of the lease amount from their gross salary, they have a gross-net advantage over that amount.

5: Mandatory for commuting 

At most employers, colleagues can choose whether to use the bike for commuting. However, they pay a 7% addition for the private benefit.

6: Tax-free travel allowance 

For the days that colleagues use the Roetz Life e-bike for their work, you cannot provide a tax-free allowance. Of course, you can provide an allowance for days with other transportation. You can also provide a mileage allowance. Let us know, and we'll explain exactly how it works.

7: Implementation with little administration

We help you set everything up digitally, including documents. This allows you to quickly and easily establish a bike plan. You can also link your salary administration to our platform. This way, you can start your bike plan within a day.

8: Optimization

You can fully optimize the bike plan. For example, create different lease categories with different employer contributions. Ensure that your colleagues do not incur losses on pensions, bonuses, or vacation pay. Together, we'll go through the smartest options for your organization.

No, not necessarily. You can also use Roetz Life e-bikes as pool bikes. This way, different colleagues share one bike, each with their own digital key.

No, but you can. 

Up to €25, it costs you nothing at the bottom line. Partly because, as an employer, you save on the travel allowance. You also save on your social security contributions. 

Altogether, this makes the bike plan financially attractive for both you as an employer and your colleagues.

We deliver the e-bike to their home or office.

We do. 

Within the lease contract, you are insured for accidents, theft, and damage. 

Damage is covered in our unique service: we come by to replace a module, and your colleague can immediately continue cycling.
