Kempten, Germany – In a move towards a more sustainable and cost-effective option for e-bikes, Rebike and BusinessBike have announced the availability of used and professionally refurbished e-bikes in their popular company bike leasing program. Rebike, the largest e-bike refurbisher in Germany, and BusinessBike, a company leasing specialist, are working together to create a circular economy with this offer.
The refurbished e-bikes are now available on Rebike’s website for the company bike leasing program in Germany at rebike.com/de/business-bike. This partnership offers customers a wide selection of refurbished e-bikes at a lower cost compared to purchasing a new one.
“The refurbished e-bikes in the company bike leasing program are already available in Germany at rebike.com/de/business-bike,” says Thomas Bernik, CEO and co-founder of Rebike. “Our customers benefit in many ways – and e-bikes will be used for much longer.”
The refurbished e-bikes are part of Rebike’s Premium Refurbishment Programme, which involves over 100 steps to ensure the e-bikes are as good as new. After the refurbishment process, they are up to 40% cheaper than buying a new e-bike. This not only benefits customers, but it also promotes a more sustainable and circular economy.
“This collaboration with Rebike is another milestone on our journey to make the bicycle an environmentally friendly alternative that is easily accessible to as many people as possible,” says Rolf Höring, Managing Director of BusinessBike. “We are delighted to be able to give a second lease of life to bikes that have been returned from company bike leasing programs. Every refurbished e-bike that finds a new owner saves resources and is a step towards a greener future.”
The trend of reusing products, such as smartphones and laptops, has extended to e-bikes as well. According to the Focus E-Bike Study 2023, 37% of prospective buyers are open to purchasing a refurbished e-bike for sustainability reasons and due to the growing range of offers.
“We are seeing more and more people thinking about the impact of their purchasing behavior and looking for alternatives,” says Bernik. “Especially with e-bikes, refurbishment and reuse is a very smart choice: customers get a technically equivalent product at a significantly lower price, while also protecting the environment.”
Rebike Mobility is Germany’s largest recommerce company for e-bikes and operates Europe’s largest and most modern e-bike refurbishment centre. The Munich-based company sells refurbished e-bikes from well-known brand manufacturers via the online platform rebike.com, via second-use marketplaces of partners such as Decathlon and eBay, as well as via the service bike leasing programme of BusinessBike and in its own flagship stores in Munich, Frankfurt am Main, and Oberstdorf. BusinessBike GmbH is one of the leading providers of company bike leasing in Germany and is part of the Dutch Pon.Bike, Europe’s largest bicycle manufacturer. With over 50,000 companies from all sectors and over 4 million employees already relying on BusinessBike, the company offers a 100% leasing option with strong partners at its side.
