Lease arrangements offer business owners several attractive benefits when using electric fatbikes. This applies to all our models from CityX to CargoX.
"Leasing is becoming increasingly popular with business owners," says Joeri. "Especially for companies that want several UrbanX or CityX. No big investment all at once, but all the benefits right away."
Operating lease: You pay fixed monthly fee and leasing company retains ownership. Offers accounting advantages because bikes do not appear on balance sheet. Favors financial ratios.
Finance lease: Gives possibility of eventual ownership. You spread costs over several years, but bikes are on balance sheet. Provides flexibility in depreciation methods and you immediately take advantage of tax benefits.
Cash flow protection: Both forms of leasing protect cash flow. Instead of large initial investment, you have predictable monthly costs. Makes budgeting easier and keeps capital free for other business investments.
Maintenance packages included: Regular service, repairs and sometimes even replacement parts such as battery covered. This lowers total cost of ownership. Also ensures reliable transportation without unexpected expenses.
