If you want to get around quickly, there are many good reasons to choose an e-bike. It doesn't need a lot of space and is easier to protect from wind and weather than a car. You don't need a garage, you can park it in the basement. The electric motor means you can manage longer distances and inclines effortlessly and without much effort. You'll reach your destination relaxed and without sweating.

E-bikes do not produce any exhaust fumes and are therefore a green alternative to cars. You save on petrol costs, get some fresh air and keep yourself moderately fit by pedalling occasionally. You can hardly tell that modern e-bikes are electrically assisted. It is no wonder that e-bikes are becoming increasingly popular. From folding bikes to city bikes and mountain bikes, various attractive models invite you to use them in a variety of ways.

financing of e-bikes

Before you decide on a particular model, you should think carefully about how you can afford the purchase. Even if you are very keen on an e-bike now, buying something beyond your own means is risky. That's why you should check out various financing options before you decide on a bike. Leasing a bike is often a good option, for example through your employer. The costs are paid off over a certain period of time. Renting, leasing or traditional installment payments are also possible.

No matter which e-bike you want, plan the financing from the start. This is the only way to enjoy your new e-bike in the long term without worrying about it, without overextending yourself financially. Don't rush into anything. With smart e-bike financing, nothing stands in the way of your environmentally friendly and healthy e-bike mobility. And the best thing is that purchasing financed e-bikes doesn't put a big hole in your budget. A variety of financing models make it easy for you to use the e-bike you want straight away.

The advantages of e-bike financing

An e-bike can be a significant investment, but that shouldn't stop you from getting your dream bike. This is where financing comes in. Financing allows you to spread the cost of your e-bike over a longer period of time, rather than paying a large amount all at once. This makes it easier for you to afford a quality e-bike that meets your needs.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Immediate availability: You can use your e-bike immediately without having to save up for months.
  • Flexible installments: Choose a monthly installment that fits your budget.
  • Low interest rates: The interest rates for e-bike financing are often lower than for conventional loans.
  • No deposit: In many cases, no deposit is required.

How does e-bike financing work?

Financing an e-bike is easier than you might think. Here are the basic steps:

  1. Select an e-bike: Choose your dream bike from the range offered by your preferred dealer.
  2. Apply for financing: Fill out the dealer's financing form. You can usually do this online.
  3. Credit check: The financing provider checks your creditworthiness. This is usually quick and uncomplicated.
  4. Conclude the contract: If everything is in order, you sign the financing contract.
  5. Pick up your e-bike or have it delivered: You can now pick up your e-bike or have it conveniently delivered to your home.

alternatives to financing

If financing is not an option for you, there are other ways to purchase an e-bike:

1. Installment purchase

When you buy on installments, you pay for your e-bike in fixed monthly installments, similar to financing. The difference is usually that the dealer himself offers the installment payment. Tip: At MYVELO you can select this in the checkout as payment method

2. Leasing

When leasing, you pay a monthly fee for using the e-bike. At the end of the term, you can either return the bike or take it back for a fee.

3. Buying used

Used e-bikes are often significantly cheaper than new models. But pay attention to the condition of the battery and general wear and tear.

E-bike leasing with BusinessBike

An interesting financing option is available to companies and employers who want to provide their employees with an e-bike as a company vehicle . This can be done through a salary conversion, which not only finances the e-bike, but also brings tax advantages and is therefore also attractive for employees.

The model also has some advantages for employers. They save on non-wage labor costs and have lower expenses than with a company car. The benefit for both sides makes it easy to get companies excited about purchasing an e-bike as a company vehicle. As an employee, you avoid any traffic jams and get to your job site faster, be it a savings bank or a construction site. In addition, the e-bike can be used not only for the commute to work, but also privately.

The employer takes care of insurance, maintenance and repairs. If the employment relationship ends, you return the e-bike. So you don't have to worry about selling it or further maintenance. Of course, you can also terminate the contract at any time.

With an e-bike provided by your employer, you combine practical benefits with environmentally friendly mobility. The electric drive supports you when commuting and you also do something to stay fit and healthy.Find out more here at MYVELO about the BusinessBike model, which allows you to use an e-bike as a company vehicle through your employer.
