Simplifying Service Processes
Leasing-Check addresses the complexities faced by bicycle retailers and workshops when servicing leased bikes. Traditionally, technicians have navigated multiple portals and systems to verify contract statuses, service entitlements, and maintenance budgets, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors. By offering a standardized, read-only verification layer, Leasing-Check enables authorized personnel to quickly ascertain:
- Whether a leasing contract is active.
- The specific leasing provider responsible.
- Available service benefits and remaining budgets.
This streamlined approach ensures that service, maintenance, and wear-and-tear tasks are performed promptly and accurately, enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. (dibike.org)

The initiative is a collaborative effort between DiBike | Digitize Bike Business and Zukunft Fahrrad, with active participation from various industry stakeholders. Notably, BIKE&CO has joined DiBike as a limited partner, reinforcing the commitment to developing open standards and shared infrastructure within the bicycle industry. (dibike.org)
Technical Advancements
Leasing-Check’s technical framework is built upon standardized APIs, facilitating seamless integration with existing ERP and dealer management systems. The provider API has been published, laying the groundwork for standardized integrations, while the interface for ERP and dealer management systems is in its final review phase, with a release scheduled for mid-June 2026.
