Cloppenburg, May 2022. Almost every second German employee finds the concept of company bike leasing attractive or very attractive - in the young target group of 18 to 29 year olds it is even 64%. Of the respondents who are not provided with a company bike leasing offer, 3 out of 5 people (59%) are interested in a company bike. Again, interest is strongest among 18-29 year olds (76%) and 30-49 year olds (65%). The health and environmental aspects are the most convincing aspects of the company bike leasing concept, with 66 % each. However, almost half of the respondents are not yet familiar with the concept.
These are the results of a quantitative Statista study commissioned by Lease a Bike with 1,000 employed participants aged 18 to 67 on the topic of "company bike leasing and sustainable mobility". The quantitative online survey took place between 21 and 25 February 2022 and investigated the mobility behaviour and status quo of bicycle leasing among employees in Germany.
"Thanks to this study, we now have a better understanding of employees' interests and usage behaviour towards the company bike leasing concept," says Christian Wölbern, General Manager of Lease a Bike. "We now know that the demand for sustainable mobility offers is increasing even more and that the younger generation in particular more than welcomes green mobility concepts - that makes us very happy! But we have also realised that there are still considerable knowledge gaps that we need to fill. Green mobility is more relevant than ever and our goal is that as many employees as possible in Germany and Europe are aware of sustainable mobility offers such as company bike leasing and, in the best case scenario, also take advantage of them."
For the way to work, most respondents still use the car (81%). With 41%, the bicycle takes second place, followed by public transport (39%). E-variants such as pedal scooters (6%) are used least for the commute to work.
Particularly exciting: for many respondents across all age groups, the bicycle is (very) important above all for leisure use (70%). For 35 %, the bicycle also plays a major role for commuting to work. The highest relevance (47 %) of the bicycle for commuting to work is among younger people (18 to 29 years).
There is still room for improvement in the level of awareness of the company bike concept: Almost every second person is not yet familiar with it. One in four (23%) say that their company provides a service wheel leasing offer. This percentage shows a positive development as the number of employees increases. Of all respondents whose companies offer a company bike leasing concept, almost one in three (29%) also use the offer - among the younger ones it is even 42%.
97% of users are satisfied with the concept. Company bike users are particularly convinced by the all-round protection packages and the possibility to get a bike at a fair price. Of those who do not receive a company bike leasing offer, 59% said that they would like to have such a programme. Again, interest is strongest among 18-29 year olds (76%).
The main reasons for using a company bike are the full use in leisure time (33%), the all-round insurance (27%) and the wide choice of bike models (27%). What prevents most of the respondents from (further) use is the lack of a company bike offer in their company (68 %) or the long distance to work (34 %). In the future, almost every second person can imagine using a company bike.
The core target groups are 18-29 year-olds (55%) and 30-49 year-olds (53%). On the other hand, 91% of the users are convinced that they will continue to use the company bike. In conclusion, it was found that health and environmental aspects (66% each) are most important to the respondents when using a companybike.

In today's hectic world, more and more people are looking for ways to improve their mental well-being. One such way is cycling. Studies show that regular cycling can have positive effects on mental health. In this article, we will take a closer look at how cycling can improve well-being.
Bike leasing is becoming increasingly popular among employees and employers, as it not only promotes environmentally friendly mobility, but also offers other advantages.
The world of corporate benefits has changed significantly in recent years. In addition to traditional benefits such as health insurance and company pensions, sustainable mobility concepts are becoming increasingly important. A recent Statista study commissioned by Lease a Bike has now shed light on the popularity of company bike leasing as a corporate benefit in medium-sized companies.
