Klarna

Klarna instalments

Split the purchase price across payment dates without leasing your bike.

  • Klarna determines available options and approval.

  • Not all amounts or customers are eligible.

02

Private bicycle leasing

You sign a lease yourself and pay a monthly amount for the contract term.

  • Compare the term, upfront payment and total cost.
  • Maintenance and insurance depend on the contract.
  • Ownership at the end is not automatically included.
Lease a Bike
03

Business and employer leasing

A bike leased for business or through your employer’s scheme.

  • Ask HR which providers and bikes are permitted.
  • Contributions and tax implications depend on the scheme.
  • Business owners should consult their accountant.
04

Employer bike purchase scheme

Your employer may support a purchase through an allowance, loan or exchange of employment benefits.

  • A purchase scheme is not necessarily a lease.
  • Ask about the budget, application and invoice requirements.
  • The benefit depends on your circumstances and employer agreement.

Personally, at the atelier

Your bike. Your options.

Less guesswork, more conversation. I help you compare the options so you know where you stand before deciding.

Check before you commit

  • What is the total cost, including fees?
  • Are maintenance, insurance and accessories included?
  • Who owns the bike, including at the end?
  • What happens after damage, early termination or a job change?
  • Which provider and budget does your employer allow?
Discuss your options

Options depend on your bike, provider and employer. Check availability with Thomas before ordering. Approval and terms are set by the provider; this page is not a credit application.

Discuss your payment options

Ask Thomas about options for your bike. This is a no-obligation workshop enquiry, not a credit application or order.
