Which maintenance costs are covered?
Depending on the all-round protection package you initially selected for your leasing bike, maintenance and inspection costs will be covered. The choice of the all-round protection packages can be limited by your company. In general the package should be chosen based on your usage behavior.
Our all-round protection packages:
Basic: The budget for maintenance is up to 100€ per year.

What costs does the maintenance package cover?
The all-round protection package includes a mobility guarantee and a maintenance package. The maintenance package covers wear-and-tear repairs, annual maintenance and service work that affect the safety of use or the functionality of your leased bike. Also included are annual inspections and wear and tear repairs that are necessary for operational safety. Not covered by the maintenance package is the repair of damage, this is covered by the damage protection. For more information, see "Damage and theft".
As a user of a leased bike, you are responsible for avoiding damage and loss as far as possible. In addition, you should keep both original bike keys safe and not leave the bike unattended without theft protection.

Does my bike have theft protection?
Yes. Our bikes are insured with comprehensive insurance. Your bike must be locked with a commercially available lock, but it does not have to be connected to anything, unless it is in a locked room, for the protection to be effective. The deductible is basically 0 €. In the event of theft, you will receive a new bike for the stolen one at the maximum price to which you are entitled under the leasing contract.
What to do in case of theft?
The theft of your leasing bike must first be reported to the police. Since you need the respective file number for the theft report, this step is mandatory. When reporting the theft, you must provide the frame number, which you can find in the Lease a Bike portal. You must also have both original keys in your possession.Once you have filed the theft report, go to one of our Lease a Bike stores and fill out the theft form. The specialty shop will order a new bike of the same type and quality for you, which will continue to run under your existing contract.
Do I have the right to borrow a bike in case of damage or theft?
In the event of insured damage, in order to ensure your mobility, we will cover the cost of a rental bicycle for seven days up to 50 € per day, as well as the cost of return transport if operational safety cannot be guaranteed.
