    TRAXIO’s study highlights a strong growth in bicycle leasing for the region, with electric bicycles in particular proving popular with employees.

    Bicycle leasing continues to gain momentum in Belgium, with electric bikes now making up the majority of leased two-wheelers. According to a new study by TRAXIO, 66% of all leased bikes in Belgium are e-bikes. As of mid-2025, the total number of leased bicycles stands at 166,696, with a record 52,278 new lease contracts signed in 2024 alone.

    These findings are part of the latest TRAXIO VELO brochure, which for the first time, offers a comprehensive overview of the Belgian bicycle leasing sector.

    Leasing supporting the transition into sustainable mobility

    The report underscores the growing role of bicycle leasing in Belgium’s broader mobility transformation. An increasing number of employees are turning to cycling, particularly electric cycling, as a sustainable and active mode of daily transport.

    Calls for policy support in Belgium

    Despite the positive trend, TRAXIO notes that bicycle leasing remains underutilized, with only 1.91% of the working population currently using a lease bike. To unlock the full potential of this market, the organization is urging policymakers to integrate bicycle leasing more firmly into Belgium’s national mobility budget. TRAXIO emphasizes that with more structural support, the bike leasing sector can grow significantly and make a greater contribution to sustainable mobility in Belgium.

    Fingal County Council, Ireland, is introducing a subsidy for e-bike leasing, reducing the cost for riders to €60 for the first three months, rather than the regular price of €240 for the same period.

    The one-off subsidy scheme, named Fingal eBike Connect Pilot, is first being tested in the Donabate/Portrane area, with potential plans to expand it to other areas if successful with residents.

    The walking and cycling officer of Fingal County Council, Stephen McGinn, explained the thinking behind the subsidy scheme. “It’s to get people started for the moment, we’ll be constantly monitoring it though, and if there is merit in adapting it or expanding it, we will. That’s the same for the area, initially starting in Donabate/Portrane, but if it’s successful, it might be a model for bike share like schemes in more rural areas.”

    McGinn highlighted the sustainable transport potential of the scheme for the Fingal County Council area. “I’m a big believer in bike share as a reliable, affordable, and sustainable mode of public transport. Fingal County Council is a large and varied administrative area, and while traditional bike share isn’t commercially viable in every part, we’re still committed to providing people with greener, cost-effective alternatives to car use.

    “The goal? To showcase just how practical eBikes can be for commuting and leisure, and to encourage a real shift in how we get around.”

    Fingal eBike Connect Pilot is being launched in partnership with e-bike-leasing company Bleeper. To apply for the subsidy, contact customercare@bleeperactive.com.
