    Insurance for e-bikes

    Nah we don't have that sort of insurance, we're not realy running a business from home as such! I'm a self employed gardener using my home address, so that excludes us from a lot of home insurances :-(

    Insurance for e-bikes

    Like I thought! There's no leeway to increase our bike policy with AXA, so it's time to look into another insurance company :-(

But a lot of insurance company's won't touch us at a decent premium as we...

    Insurance for e-bikes

    If the bikes more than £1000 it probably won't be insured full stop, as they would say that we have underinsured it! Even thought they prob won't cover the higher price! Insurance company's are fecking con artists :-( The trailer won't be a deterent as it just unclips from the bike, plus if they...

    Insurance for e-bikes

    I think we would have to take the risk of not getting it insured! Or were even thinking of scrapping the whole idea of getting a e-bike after all the expense it's going to cost us :-(

    Insurance for e-bikes

    I've just sent them a email but I don't think they will cover it! It's with AXA which only have two policy bands and we are already on the higher band which covers bicycles for £2.5k with £1k per single item! which I'm sure can't be upgraded as if it was I could have upgraded it online!

The bike we are considering purchasing is about £1800 but our household insurance only covers us up to £1000 per bicycle! I'm pretty sure that it...
