All things benefit bikes and sustainable mobility

The Finnish government’s decision to remove the tax exemption for benefit bikes is rapidly reshaping the competitive landscape in Finland. Although the tax break is ending, the bike benefit itself remains and companies can still offer it to employees in a cost-effective and flexible way. Vapaus and other service providers have already introduced new solutions that make the benefit fairer and more accessible, especially for lower-income employees. Whereas the previous tax-free model mainly favored high earners due to their higher marginal tax savings, the new solutions provide equal advantages across income levels.

We’re proud to share that Vapaus has been recognised among the Blue Earth Summit’s BE100 companies, a distinction celebrating ventures driving scalable solutions for planetary health.

Vapaus Group, Europe’s forerunner known for its bike-leasing platform, announces the integration of Azfalte, France’s leading corporate cycling company serving 250 employer clients. This milestone accelerates Vapaus Group’s international growth and unlocks Europe’s biggest market opportunity, with the ambition to put more than one million employees on bikes across the continent in the coming years.
