Case study: bike leasing a great success at Revimaxx
Revimaxx from Zele specializes in the development of custom production machines. They mainly work for clients in the steel industry. Since 2019, employees of this company have been able to lease a bike through Cyclobility. We visited Sofie Dierick (Office Manager) to learn more about their experience with Cyclobility and bike leasing.
How important are sustainability and ecology for Revimaxx?
Sustainability is high on the agenda at Revimaxx. We mainly design and develop machines and installations for the metal sector. Through various sustainable initiatives, we aim to somewhat offset the impact of this sector on the environment.
For example, we invest in an energy-efficient new building and installed solar panels on our roof to generate our own electricity. Bike leasing also fits perfectly within this story.
Why did Revimaxx choose bike leasing for its employees?
The demand for a mobility solution for daily commuting came from our employees. We aim as much as possible for employees who live nearby, and in that case cycling is the most sustainable option. The time saved by not sitting in traffic is a welcome bonus!
In addition, our CEO Johan is very sporty and wanted to share that mindset with employees. For us, the bike is a great alternative to the car! Through bike leasing, we can encourage employees to shift from car to bike and reduce our ecological footprint.
How does the collaboration with Cyclobility work?
The collaboration with Cyclobility runs very smoothly. At the start of the process, employees received an info session about how Cyclobility works and how bike leasing is offered. Thanks to clear examples, they immediately understood the impact on their salary. During the test event, our employees could try out different models and received expert advice from Cyclobility.
We also receive a lot of positive feedback about the bike leasing platform. Registration is simple, employees can easily calculate their lease , and when placing a new order there is smooth support from the different store locations. The status of an order can easily be tracked via the portal.
In addition to the high-quality bikes we can lease through Cyclobility, we are very satisfied with the total package. It is very convenient that Cyclobility comes to your location for maintenance. Repairs (at home or at work) can also be easily requested via the platform. Thanks to roadside assistance and insurance against theft and damage, our employees can cycle without worries. Already 16% of our employees have chosen a lease bike!
What added value does bike leasing offer employees?
Our employees experience many benefits from bike leasing . It is a tax-efficient compensation element. The deduction from the gross salary ensures that the impact on net salary remains very limited. By using the bike for daily commuting, employees also spend significantly less on fuel.
Leasing a bike is therefore very beneficial for the wallet, but it also has a major impact on the health and well-being of our employees.
Our workshop staff often have to move heavy loads, and our office staff benefit from extra movement to compensate for long hours of sitting. It is therefore ideal that they can commute by bike. In the morning, our cyclists arrive with a healthy glow thanks to the extra exercise. So far, we haven’t found any downsides to bike leasing .
