Thomas' tip: Quality defines your corporate image
I regularly see companies opting for cheap company bikes to cut costs. That's short term thinking. At STOER Bikes, we believe that your corporate image starts with what employees use on a daily basis. A bike that rusts after six months or is constantly broken doesn't exude professionalism - quite the opposite. Our heavy duty aluminum frames don't rust, the Gates CDX belt drive requires no maintenance, and the automatic transmission means employees can focus on the road. When your team arrives to customers on reliable, maintained STOER Bikes, you'll see the difference. They don't arrive sweaty because of a broken gear, and they don't have to make excuses for a rusty bike. Quality shines through in every detail - from the sleek aluminum finish to the quiet belt drive. That's the corporate image you want.
Business bikes as a recruitment tool
STOER Bikes company bikes function as an attractive employee benefit that appeals to millennials and Gen Z in particular. These generations value sustainable mobility solutions and see a company bike arrangement with high-quality electric fatbikes as a sign that an employer is investing in their well-being. With 7% additional taxes, a leased bike is very attractive from a tax perspective.
For many candidates, a STOER Bikes company bicycle scheme is a concrete financial saving. They don't have to invest in an electric bike themselves (UrbanX/CityX from €2,999, CargoX €5,495) and save on fuel and parking costs. This makes your jobs more attractive, especially in urban areas where transportation costs are high.
Generational differences are evident. Younger employees see STOER electric fatbikes as a lifestyle statement and appreciate the innovative Gates CDX belt drive and automatic transmission. Older generations especially appreciate the low-maintenance nature and reliability. The 720Wh battery with 60-140 km range (UrbanX/CityX) is more than sufficient for daily commuting.
The recruitment tool becomes even more powerful when you choose the best models. The UrbanX (best fatbike 2024 according to AD Bicycle Test) shows that you are investing in quality, which attracts top talent that values employers who think ahead and don't skimp on quality.

Strengthening sustainability reputation with STOER Bikes
STOER electric fatbikes and the CargoX cargo bike position your company as an environmentally friendly organization that actively contributes to CO2 reduction. Stakeholders appreciate concrete actions, and STOER Bikes are a visible investment in green mobility that underlines your social responsibility. An electric bike saves 150-230 kg CO2 per year for daily commuting.
The Gates CDX belt drive further reinforces this sustainable image. This technology provides 4x longer life than chains (10,000-15,000 km vs. 3,000-5,000 km), less maintenance, and quieter driving - all aspects that contribute to sustainable operations. It shows that you are not only choosing green alternatives, but also the most advanced solutions.
Sustainability credentials are enhanced by measurable impact. Each STOER bike potentially replaces car trips, providing directly measurable environmental benefits for your sustainability reports. An electric fatbike produces only 5-15 grams of CO2 per kilometer (including electricity production) versus 120-180 grams for a car.
Moreover, using STOER Bikes exudes that sustainability does not mean compromising on quality. The heavy duty aluminum frame, luxury leather saddle (UrbanX), and professional finish show that green choices are also smart business choices. The CargoX with 150 kg payload can even replace company vans for urban deliveries.
Why Dutch companies choose STOER Bikes
Dutch companies are discovering that STOER Bikes have a strong business case through the combination of tax benefits, employer brand reinforcement and long-term cost savings. The investment pays for itself through reduced mobility costs, increased employee satisfaction and improved corporate image. In addition, both purchase and lease options are available.
Tax advantages make STOER Bikes more attractive. For business use, you can deduct VAT, take advantage of the Small Scale Investment Allowance (KIA), and depreciate the bike. For employees, only 7% additional taxes apply when leasing, making an electric bike very advantageous. These schemes make high-end models more accessible and increase ROI.
Dutch market dynamics also play a role. With increasing traffic in the Randstad and growing restrictions on car traffic in inner cities, STOER Bikes offer a practical solution. The automatic 2-speed transmission and powerful Bafang motor (55Nm UrbanX/CityX, 95Nm CargoX) ensure that employees are faster than by car.
Long-term image effects are not to be underestimated. Companies that invest in belt-driven STOER Bikes now are positioning themselves as forerunners. They are building a reputation that becomes valuable as sustainability becomes more important. The Trustpilot score of 4.7/5 and status as best fatbike 2024 reinforce your brand association.
