"Together with JobRad, we want to pave a new way for our customers and teammates to access high-quality bikes without having to buy them outright," explained Axel Thunig, Commercial Leader Mobility at Decathlon Germany, in a press release. To coincide with the start of the season, the French sports retailer will be launching its bike leasing programme. From 3 April, employees of a company that cooperates with JobRad will be able to lease a Decathlon bike lease as a company bike.
Bike leasing: Which Decathlon bikes can be leased?
The sporting goods manufacturer has a wide range of bicycles in its repertoire that make the leasing offer attractive. Whether it's a city, mountain or racing bike is basically irrelevant. The only requirement is that the total leasing price is at least 750 euros. In addition, all e-bikes are included in the leasing offer. Those who are generally interested in a leased Decathlon bike but are not sure which one is right for them can get advice on the bike and accessories from an employee on site or over the phone. Because this is also part of the leasing offer. These include bike bells, mudguards, child seats and lights.
The bike, including accessories, can be collected from one of 87 branches after the order process. At the end of the contract term, the customer can decide whether to take over the leased bike or return it. In the interests of sustainability, JobRad reconditions the returned bikes. This means they can continue to be used as refurbished bikes.
"We are delighted that with Decathlon Germany and JobRad, one of the world's leading multisport brands and the market and quality leader in bicycle leasing are now pooling their expertise. Together, we will inspire even more people to cycle and thus contribute to a better mobile future for us all," says Florian Baur, Managing Director of JobRad GmbH, about the new leasing partner.
Decathlon bikes: own employees benefit from leasing
The employees of Decathlon Germany themselves also benefit from the new bicycle leasing co-operation. In the traditional way, they can lease a company bike via JobRad, with the leasing instalment being deducted from their gross salary. In addition, the French group offers its employees a 30 per cent subsidy on the leasing instalment, as well as included bicycle insurance for three years.
