Electric bike insurance FAQs
Our bicycle insurance can cover the cost of repairs or replacement if your e-bike or accessories are stolen or you’re in an accident and your bike and accessories are damaged. For full details and limits of the cover available, please refer to the policy wording.
There is no legal requirement to have cycle insurance but with e-bikes costing from £1,000 upwards it’s important to protect both yourself and your e-bike should it be stolen or accidently damaged.
Home contents insurance often has limitations for the bicycles value and the situations cover is provided for which is usually only whilst the cycle is kept at your home. Our e-bike policy can provide cover for theft or accidental damage while you’re out riding your e-bike or participating in events.

If your e-bike has more power than 250watts as standard, we are unable to provide cover under our Cycle policy. If you are unsure, please contact our Cycle team who can confirm if we are able to offer cover for your e-bike.
As part of our optional personal accident product, we offer various levels of cover for additional costs you may experience due to an accident. These can be anything from dental costs or physiotherapy through to additional travel expenses due to not being able to commute to work on your bike or loss of earnings.
