More and more Belgians are choosing a lease speed pedelec
Published
The popularity of the speed pedelec in Belgium continues to grow. Recent figures from the mobility federation TRAXIO show that more than 12,000 new fast electric bicycles have been registered in the first nine months of this year.
What is striking is the way these bicycles are being acquired. Two out of three new speed pedelecs in our country are obtained through a lease contract. This points to a clear trend in which employees are increasingly opting for a lease bike through their employer.
The rise in the number of lease bikes has several reasons. For many employees, it is an attractive way to commute to work without being stuck in traffic. Moreover, many companies offer a bicycle plan, which significantly lowers the threshold for purchasing an expensive speed pedelec.
The figures from TRAXIO show that the speed pedelec has become a permanent fixture in Belgian commuting. With more than 12,000 new registrations between January and the end of September, the market for these fast bicycles remains stable and the number of users on Belgian roads is growing.
