Are you looking for a leasing lock because the bike leasing provider or your employer stipulates it or because you want to make the most of the bike leasing benefits?

A bike lock for a leased bike must fulfil specific requirements, otherwise it does not count as a leasable accessory. The tex-lock fulfils these requirements and offers you further advantages in addition to the leasing savings. Discover in this article:

  • What exactly these requirements are,
  • how the tex-lock fulfils these requirements,
  • What other advantages the textile lock has for you
  • and where you can get the tex-lock as a leasing accessory.

At the end, we'll answer all your questions about locks for leased bikes. Let's go!

Leasable accessories: Which bike lock is leasable and which is not?

In principle, accessories that are permanently attached to the bike can be leased, thereby increasing your savings. Because by including the price of the accessories in the lease, you also save on the purchase of the accessories, just like with the bike. This also includes the bike lock. In some cases, leasing a bike lock is even prescribed by the leasing provider or employer in order to guarantee theft protection for the leased bike. For this reason, a leasing lock must fulfil certain security requirements.

Requirements for a leasing bike lock

In order to adequately protect the usually very high-quality leased bicycles from theft, an equally high-quality lock is required. A leasing bike lock must therefore fulfil these two criteria:

  • The leasing lock must cost at least 48 euros.
  • It must not be a combination lock.

It's up to you which type of lock you choose. Whether it's a U-lock, folding lock, chain lock or a textile lock. Because a tex-lock fulfils both requirements.

How texlock fulfils the requirements for a leasing lock

The tex-lock fulfils both requirements for a leasing lock: it costs more than €48 and is not a combination lock.
To guarantee security and quality, every tex-lock is carefully handcrafted in Germany from high-quality materials. This affects the price and is also the reason why a tex-lock is only available as a bike lock with a key and not as a combination lock. The fact that a tex-lock is a Secure bike lock has been confirmed by ART and Sold Secure.
But a tex-lock has even more to offer.

Further advantages of the texlock beyond the leasing savings

The tex-lock uniquely combines the best of security, weight and design, offering you more benefits than just leasing savings. In the Bike lock comparison shows that a tex-lock is significantly more flexible and lighter than other bike locks with the same security level. This makes it easy to handle and transport. At the same time, it offers versatile protection: against bolt cutters, saws and other cutting tools, against fire and paint scratches and against annoying rattling. Last but not least, it is strikingly beautiful - both on your bike and on you!

  • beautiful design
  • Pleasant feel

  • Easy transport
  • handmade
  • Made in Germany
  • High security
  • comparatively light
  • Cut protection
  • Fire protection

The only thing more beautiful are the many possible applications of the tex-lock.

The question now is, which is the better option for you: leasing or buying the tex-lock?

Bike lock leasing vs. buying: Which is the better option for you?

The decision between leasing or buying a bike lock depends on your individual needs and financial means. Repairing or replacing the lock makes no difference with either option. Repairs or replacements are often included with most leasing providers. And even with a purchase, a return is possible within the statutory period of two years. We have also carried out repairs on request.

Leasing:

  • Leasing allows you to use the lock for the agreed period without high acquisition costs. 
  • However, depending on the leasing provider, you may have to return the lock at the end of the contract, extend the lease or buy it out.

Purchase:

  • When you buy a lock, however, it belongs to you personally and there is no obligation to return it.
  • However, you have to finance the purchase price yourself and have no leasing savings.

If you decide to lease a bike lock, you will need a tex-lock dealer.

No. The tex-lock and other leasable accessories can only be included in the leasing contract when the contract is concluded.
