FleetBike acquisition process
- Fill our FleetBike acquisition form to start the acquisition process. Please use your work e-mail address if possible. If you don’t have a work e-mail, personal e-mail address works as well.
- Fleet Innovation ensures the acquisition right from your employer’s HR department. After ensuring the right for the employment bicycle, Fleet Innovation will send you the commitment contract to be electronically signed.
- After signing the contract, you will receive the instructions and information for the bike dealer.
- Now you can shop at any domestic bike dealer of your choice.
- When you have selected the bike, the dealer will ask the permission for invoicing from Fleet Innovation. This might take 2-4 weekdays. Please notice that the spring is very popular time for bike acquisitions and the delay in our responses might be longer than usual.
- When the bike dealer has received the invoicing authorization, they will send the invoice to Fleet and hand out the bike for the user. Some of the bike dealers want to secure their invoincing receivables (see the payment on their account before delivering the bike), which might slightly prolong the waiting time with couple of weekdays.

Q&A
You can shop at any bike dealer that has a Finnish business ID. You can also use the Canyon online store (https://www.canyon.com/en-fi/).
You can get a mountain bike, a fatbike, a city bike or any kind of bike that best suits your needs. Please note the limitations set by the tax authority on the power levels of electric bikes: no more than 250 W and 25 km/h.
You can include a potential delivery fee and certain fixed accessories, such as a helmet, a lock, winter tires or statutory bike lights in the procurement price. Clothing, footwear or GPS/distance trackers cannot be included in the procurement price.
The bike benefit comes from the employee’s salary. Compared to personally buying a bike from a dealer, the bike benefit will save you 20–40% of the bike’s purchase price. For example, a bike costing EUR 4,000 with a 48-month contract will cost the employee about EUR 2,880 due to the tax-free nature of the benefit. At the end of the contracting period, you can redeem the bike by paying 5% of the purchase price (in this example, EUR 200).
When the contracting period ends, the employee can decide whether to redeem or return the bike or whether to acquire a new company bike.
The reduction of your net salary is influenced by various factors, such as direct taxation, municipal tax and church tax. Each employee can contact the tax authority for a report on their personal taxation before deciding to use the benefit.
You are in charge of the bike’s maintenance. You can choose to perform the maintenance yourself. You can also conclude a personal maintenance contract with an appropriate shop or take the bike for maintenance at a shop of your choice whenever necessary.
All the bikes are insured. The insurance covers fire, breakage, vandalism and theft. The deductible is EUR 300. The insurance is valid in Finland.
When the bike is not used, it must always be locked to a fixed, immovable structure or object by its frame.

Have nice moments with your new bike!
