Company bikes: A smart way to own an electric bike in 2025

Thinking about getting an electric bike, but hesitant because of the price? A company bike (also known as a salary sacrifice bike) could be your solution. By paying through gross salary deductions, you get a significantly lower total cost – often 20–40% cheaper than buying privately. In this article, we explain how the program works, what you save, and which Ecoride models are best suited for your everyday life.

What is a company bike?

A company bike works similarly to a company car – but far more affordable and climate-friendly. You access the bike through your employer, and instead of paying the full price up front, a monthly deduction is made from your gross salary for three years. The benefit is taxed according to Swedish tax authority guidelines, but because a portion is tax-free, the end cost is significantly lower than a traditional purchase.

It's a simple and economical way to access a high-quality bike – with service and support included.

Why choose an electric bike as a company bike?

Electric bikes have become one of Sweden’s most popular ways to get around. They're fast, sustainable, easy to maintain – and now, more affordable than ever if you get one through a company bike program.

Benefits:

  • No large up-front cost – pay monthly through your salary

  • Tax benefits reduce the actual total cost

  • Service and support included via Ecoride’s retailer network

  • Multiple models to choose from – tailored to different needs

Which model should you choose?

Several of Ecoride’s most popular models are available through the company bike program. Here are some examples, depending on what kind of rider you are.

Electric bike for women

Ideal if you want a safe and comfortable bike with an upright riding position and a low step-through frame. Perfect for city commuting, errands, or casual rides – without compromising on design or performance.

Electric bike for men

Stylish, sporty, and powerful. Men's models tend to have a more forward-leaning position, often with larger wheels and higher frames. Great for longer commutes or a more active cycling experience.

Electric cargo bike

Have kids, a dog, or need to carry heavier loads? Then a cargo bike with electric assist is the smartest alternative. With a robust frame and powerful motor, it handles both daily logistics and heavier cargo with ease.

How to get started

Getting a company bike through Ecoride is easy:

  1. Check if your employer offers a company bike program (or is willing to join).

  2. Choose your model – such as Ambassador, Tripper, Flexer, or Loader.

  3. Order through your company’s benefits portal (e.g., Benify, Benefits, Bikelease, etc.).

  4. The bike is delivered fully assembled, with service included.

Ecoride handles delivery, support, and returns if your employment ends early.

Summary

Choosing a company bike is one of the smartest ways to get an electric bike in 2025. You avoid large start-up costs, access reliable Swedish-made quality, and pay in a way that’s friendly to both your budget and the planet.

Whether you're looking for a women’s electric bike, a men’s electric bike, or a cargo e-bike – the company bike program is a convenient way to get rolling.
