Common Questions
Why choose a benefit bike through MOVS?
- Financially smart: You save up to 45% versus regular purchasing.
- Health and time savings: Cycling is efficient, environmentally friendly, and promotes well-being.
- Simplified ownership: Low fixed costs, no large upfront investments.
How does leasing compare to renting?
- Leasing: Select a new bike, lease it for 12/24/36 months; at end, buy at market value or return it.
- Renting: Rent a serviced used bike with no binding period; buyout any time at fair value.
Both options use gross salary deductions for maximum tax benefit.
How is the cost calculated?
- Deductions start the month after delivery, fixed for the contract.
- On each product page, you’ll see monthly cost, calculations, and estimated savings.
Can I buy the bike at the end of the period?
- Yes. In leasing, at market value after the term. In rental, you can buy at any time.
What types of bikes are available?
- E-bikes, hybrids, standard bikes, cargo bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, and road bikes from top brands.
What about delivery and assembly?
- Free shipping on all orders. Home delivery is standard; some cities offer pick-up for a small fee.
- Most bikes are almost fully assembled – you may just need to mount handlebars, pedals, or baskets.
What happens at the end of my lease?
- Options are: buyout, returning the bike, or leasing a new one. Deductions stop at the end of the agreement.
Are interest rates fixed?
- Yes, your rate is locked during the contract.
How does the benefit affect taxes and salary?
- Gross salary reduction and favorable tax rules significantly reduce net monthly costs for employees.
