I am familiar with novated leases for cars. How does the Sparque ebike lease compare to those?

The Sparque ebike lease is like a car novated lease, but not the same. It is an agreement between Sparque as the owner of the ebike, your staff member as the ebike rider and you as the employer. However, ebike leases are much simpler than car novated leases. Almost all car novated leases use a budget for fuel, service and maintenance, and that budget requires reconciliation of receipts and potentially additional payments at the end of the year. Sparque offers a flat fee for service and maintenance, as long as the actual use of the ebike is similar to the expected use we agreed on in the contract. That means no receipts or reconciliations to be done, saving you and your employer time!
