Your questions,
our answers
What is included in a bike lease?
The lease includes the bike, a service voucher for maintenance and repairs, comprehensive damage and theft insurance, and a support subscription.
What is covered by the damage and theft insurance?
The damage and theft insurance covers you in case of damage due to vandalism, falls, collisions, and attempts at or actual theft. Upon approval of the insurance file, a deductible of €25 is usually charged.
What is the warranty on my bike?
Typically, you have a 5-year warranty on the frame and a 2-year warranty on the electrical components such as the battery and the motor of the bike. With Joule, you can extend the warranty of your electrical components by one year as an option in your bike leasing contract.
How can I order a bike?
If you want to start a bike lease, you first need a bike package with an accompanying quote. You can simulate a quote through our client area!
Go to the Joule client area and choose your preferred service:
- Joule Local: Go to your local bike shop and request a quote for your dream bike (and optional accessories). Upload your quote to the client area. Within two working days, you will receive a bike leasing quote that you can forward to your HR department.
- Joule Mobile: Choose a bike and optional accessories from Joule's mobile range. Simulate the quote and review your bike package. If you are satisfied with the quote, you can send it for approval to your HR department.
Which bikes may I order?
In principle, you can order all types of bikes (unless the offer is limited by your employer). The main condition is that the bike cannot operate autonomously. In other words, you must always pedal to move the bike forward. For example, an electric scooter is not possible.
Which accessories may I order?
- Mandatory accessories for insurance, if you do not already have them:
- A lock with ART2 certification that allows the bike to be secured to a fixed anchor point.
- For example:
- A horseshoe lock with ART2 certification is not sufficient. A compatible insert lock must be provided.
- Other permitted accessories:
- Helmet
- Other: Bike bags, pedals, lighting - essentially anything that can be fixed to the bike.
- Not permitted:
- Textiles
- Water bottles
- GPS
