With Lease a Bike, you can get a bike through your employer and enjoy affordable, smart mobility—and not just on your commute: Of course, you can also use your bike for personal use!
You can conveniently pay for the bike of your choice through your monthly paycheck via a payroll deduction, saving you a lot of money—including tax benefits. Thanks to a new tax regulation, the company car benefit—the 0.25% rule—now applies in a similar way to bicycles and e-bikes as well.
Please note:
Lease a Bike leasing is available online with shipping or in-person pickup at our RABE Bike shops in Munich, Wörth, Rosenheim, Ainring, and Windischeschenbach.
The minimum price for a bike is €499—bike leasing with Lease a Bike is not available for bikes priced below this amount.
Your benefits of leasing
- Monthly payments via payroll deduction
- Save time during rush hour

Order your Lease a Bike online – here’s how it works:
- Prerequisite: You are either self-employed or your employer already offers Lease a Bike.
If not: Just ask your HR department. Not only do you benefit from bike leasing, but your employer does too! (Of course, this process also works in person at our stores.)
- Select:
Simply choose your dream bike from our entire selection (starting at a retail price of €499).
- Submit a Lease a Bike request:
Add your desired bike, including accessories, to your cart, click “Submit Leasing Request,” and fill out all required fields. Then select your preferred delivery method: shipping or in-store pickup. Our leasing team will create your personalized leasing offer in your leasing portal.
We’ll reserve the bike you want for up to 7 days.
- Sign:
Sign the lease agreement with your employer (which you’ll receive via email). Using the information in the agreement, you can anonymously calculate your personal monthly lease payment and your savings.
- Start cycling:
As soon as your Lease a Bike lease is confirmed, we’ll ship your new bike to you or arrange a pickup (depending on the delivery method you selected in advance). Please send us your PIN after you receive the bike via mail. Then you can start cycling right away—avoiding traffic jams, saving money, being eco-friendly, and staying healthy.
The best part: Instead of paying upfront, the monthly lease payment is deducted directly from your paycheck through a payroll deduction plan. With the Lease a Bike calculator, you can calculate your savings in advance.
