Electric Bike Insurance

Electric bike insurance for all powered riders. From £3.73 /mth. 50% off additional bikes added. Terms apply.

bikmo.com

tho you might get a better quote if you use the insurance provider you use for your house and contents if you have any.

 

[Jay12345]

I dont have any insurance.

then id shop about and see who is the cheapest but i put a 1k woosh bike on that link and just over 5 quid a month.

 

[Jay12345]

I have to buy bike worth £1400 as it is the only folding ebike avaiable through my Cycle2work scheme. Not much choice isn't it. Every insurer I tried to quote ask for £7.50 a month if I want to include personal injury. I dont know which insurer to choose

 

[Jay12345]

Do usually insurers covers theft from home

 

[soundwave]

most should but they will say you have to use a certain type of lock like gold rated and must be attached to a non movable object.

i dont use any insurance but read the tc carefully.

Just a thought , it would only work on a ‘legal’ bike , the insurance company won’t say they just take your cash and when it comes to pay out they’ll bind you with bike laws and get out of it .

A very good reason to get MVSA certified?

say you bought a haibike and then used a dongle on it like i do the insurance would be void same as sticking 2 turbo charges to a car and not telling the insurance company.

I dont need such expensive bike, I just cant afford buying bike eithout cycle2work scheme. I bought my previous folding ebike that was stolen for £500

Do you think it is a good bike. I would only need to ride 5 miles a day

 

[soundwave]

it is expensive for what it is esp with a 250w batt but it will do the 5 miles you need but i bet the batts wont be cheap and as they use can bus you wont be able to get it recelled out of warranty.
