The Vapaus bike benefit is a modern employee perk designed to boost staff wellbeing and support your company’s sustainability goals. Our updated model, effective from the start of 2026, makes the benefit more equal, easier to manage, and more cost-effective for everyone involved.
A Fairer Model for All Income Levels
We have introduced the new Vapaus Value model, which provides the same financial benefits regardless of an employee’s salary level. While previous models tended to favor high earners, this new solution is equitable and accessible to more employees. For the employee, the benefit typically results in 20–30% savings compared to purchasing a bike with traditional consumer credit.
Cost-Smart and Carefree for the Employer
Offering a bike benefit is effortless for the employer. Our digital portal handles administration, reporting, and the calculation of taxable values automatically.
Clear Cost Structure: The service fee is only €12.90 / month / bike (VAT 0%).
Peace of Mind: Vapaus manages financing, insurance, and the administrative workload.
No Startup Fees: Billing only begins in the month the first bike is delivered.
Sustainability and Wellbeing
Cycling is proven to improve health and reduce sick leave. Simultaneously, it supports your company's ESG goals by reducing emissions. You can explore the concrete numbers behind these benefits using the Vapaus Impact Calculator.
Note on Existing Contracts: Bikes acquired before April 24, 2025, do not need to be returned or redeemed due to the tax changes. Contracts will continue normally until the end of their term, and Vapaus will update tax information in payroll reports automatically.
