Ebike theft insurance

[oggie]

I have home insurance with AA which includes theft cover for 1 ebike when away from home up to an agreed value.

Can't say if it is any good as I have never made a claim

Hi Guys, Just looking for some sound advice on insuring our e-bikes. My wife's is worth £1200 and mine is worth £2749 and they are stored at the back of our house in an Asgard bike storage unit. WE use the bikes for leisure purposes only but when Covid-19 restrictions allow (and the weather...

Thanks for posting.

Both our Motus bikes are included on our house insurance. It covers them at home and whilst out. For the latter they must be locked to a secure fixing.

Re house insurance, do they know they are specifically 'ebikes' that could well not be street legal?

Has anyone made a successful claim on any of the above type of policies and gotten paid?

I just took out a policy with Barclay.

Which I think it pretty ridiculous, given my house contents insurance is under £100/year for £20K of cover.(or it might be £50k, i forget the exact figure)
