Introduction
Anyone looking to lease an e-scooter privately is searching for an alternative to a traditional purchase. The goal is a fixed monthly rate without a high upfront payment and without repair risk.
In Austria, private leasing is not yet common everywhere — this is exactly where the Augment model comes in.
What Does Private E-Scooter Leasing Mean?
Private leasing means:
- Fixed monthly rate
- Long-term use
- No high upfront investment
- Predictable costs
Unlike simple financing, the service model already includes maintenance.
Why Lease Instead of Buy?
A direct purchase means:
- Full repair risk
- Organizing spare parts yourself
- Depreciation
A leasing model with service offers:
- Maintenance included
- Wear-and-tear parts included
- Replacement solution in case of defects
- Purchase option after the minimum term

Flexible Payment Structure
You can:
- Choose the amount of your upfront contribution
- Reduce your monthly rate accordingly
This allows the leasing model to adapt to your budget.
Purchase Option After the Term
After 12, 24, or 36 months, you can:
- Purchase the scooter
- Continue leasing
- Switch to a new model
Leasing does not mean giving up ownership permanently.
Who Is Private Leasing Suitable For?
- Commuters
- Students
- People who don’t want to handle repairs
- Users with regular daily routes
