ebike insurance

[greeno76]

Hi,

I've just been getting a couple of quotes for my bike and found ebike insurance (http://www.ebikeinsurance.co.uk/) to offer very competitive prices. In fact, it's surprisingly low compared to my current insurer (Bennetts).

Does anyone have insurance by these guys or Southern Rock (Who I think ebike are the trading arm of)?
Is this a genuinely competitive quote or have I missed something?!?

Any words of wisdom appreciated as always!

Actually, I've just found the answer to this from e.d.

Any other opinions of them welcome, of course.

£461 for SV650 AND GSXR600 K4 garaged in NW6 isn't too bad imho.

I've found www.motorcycledirect.co.uk to be ALOT better :wink:

Hmmm? I just tried them and they quoted £1,000 - more than Bennetts....!

ebikeinsurance is a new company - they had a big launch and are trying to be fllexible and cometative. What they do offer, which I think may suit a lot of riders, it the opportunity to downgrade from Fully Comp to TTPF during the winter months if you are not an all season rider, saving quite a lot of money. They also give you a full years NCB over something like 8 or 10 months in certain circumstances. They gave me a competative quote but I still went through my broker that took another £60 of the original quote to match ebikeinsurance as he'd sorted a good quote last year and and brought my NCB forward a few months. But they are well worth a try

In my experience with insurance companies, what is cheap for one, might not be cheap for another. Sadly i think its a conspiracy of the said insurance companies and telep[hone companies alike. Its all about doing the ring around!

I only pay £113 tpf&t for my sv, any cheaper, and they'd pay me!

ebikeinsurance have just given me a quote of £157/0xs comp for my sv with a declared can, motorcycledirect will not touch me with the can and £207/200xs without.

Does not suprise me motorcycledirect have been consistantly more than my current insurers (bennetts) for the past 2 years. Currently paying £163/250xs comp with 1 years ncb

At the moment, the best offer I could get was £320 with Carol Nash (age:24, 1yr ncb on 125cc, not garaged) but the excess is £650!!! :shock:

Morning SVers
Just picked up this thread - alas that time of the year again but Ebike quoted me £109.20 tpf&t & Motorcycle Direct were a bit more expensive varying between £122.56 & £180.46.
Not bad for an old knacker (36) with no garage & only three years provable NCB?
Think I'll take their arm off

You just know that they've just based that excess on the engine size :) They've been rumbled!
