What self-employed people say about Deutsche company bikes

Julian Hirschfeld

With my practice located right in the city center, it makes sense to cover short distances on my company bike. It also provides a good balance to the stress of everyday working life, allowing my thoughts to drift away with the wind.

Alexander Dahms

Thanks to my company bike, I can reach and deliver to my wine shop in the city center at any time without having to search for a parking space, and at the same time check on my own vineyard.

Christian Hippler 

As a self-employed professional, I always need to keep a close eye on my costs. That alone makes bike leasing a smart alternative to buying outright. The fact that it also benefits the environment is an added bonus.

    Using a company bike for private purposes.

    You can use your new company bike for more than just business. You can also enjoy the benefits in your private life. There is no legally prescribed minimum usage requirement, such as having to use the company bike for commuting to work. Use your bike however you want—for business and private purposes.

    Leasing is a financing method that basically works in a similar way to a rental agreement. The leased object remains the property of the leasing company. You pay your monthly leasing installment. In return, you can use the bike for your private and business needs.

    The mobility guarantee is a form of protection that goes far beyond standard breakdown assistance and includes a 24-hour emergency hotline (breakdown assistance, pick-up, repatriation, replacement bicycle) and EU-wide travel insurance that also covers, for example, the costs of overnight stays or return journeys.

    It's easy for self-employed people! Use the contact form or calculator to let us know the purchase price of your dream bike. We will prepare the leasing contract for you, which you then just need to sign. Once you have signed, we will place the order for the bike and the dealer will inform you as soon as the bike is ready for collection or has been shipped.

    No, but any dealership can become a Deutsche Dienstrad Premium Partner. In Germany, you can choose from over 6,000 dealerships. You can find a dealership near you using our dealer search.

    If your preferred dealer is not yet a Deutsche company bike Premium Partner, please contact us and we will take care of everything else.

    Yes, that's no problem. We can provide you with several company bikes. This means that you can also lease a bike for your partner or family, for example, if you share a household with them.

    1. Return your Dienstrad free of charge — and perhaps even choose a new one.
    2. If you would like to buy your Dienstrad at the end of the lease term, we will make you an offer. We aim to base this offer on the residual value used in the original calculation, but this cannot be guaranteed.
