Default Cheap but quality bike insurance

I've notice quite a few glowing reports about ebike on this forum so I thought i'd give them a go - nothing to lose, so
Bennetts last year - fully comp on a SVS K1 with 4 yrs NCD - garaged etc = £144
ebike (on line) this year - same spec = £94 - and that was with UK breakdown cover which covers you for 6 brerakdowns.
That works out at £1.80 P/W for bike insurance.
I know I'm an old bugger (47) and the bike is only a group 10, but I only passed my test last year - so I am a risk in the "experience stakes".
Great value....worth a try
cheers all.....

Personally I found ebike approximately £400 more than several other companies. I found Premium Choice the cheapest and the most helpful.

I used to be with Direct Bike Insurance, but those people were a nightmare to deal with when I was hit by an idiot, who failed to stop. Even when it was clearly not my fault they stripped me of my NCB and I was stuck with a slow-as-a-snail solicitor, who was dealing with MIB on my behalf

I'm now with ebike, who charged me 520 TPFT. Considering that I'm living in NW London, park the bike in the street, 25 years old, been riding bigger bikes for just over 2 years and have no NCB, I think it's good value for money. Can't really say what they are like when it comes to claiming, but hope to never find out

I think that at the end of the day the main thing about insurance companies is what they are like when it comes to dealing with them. Insurance premiums will vary depending on rider age, where they live, experience and past history. Judging an insurance company just by looking at the premium they charge is a bit pointless IMHO.

Maybe someone knows a good source of insurance service comparison like "Which"?

I was with motorcycle direct for the SV, then switched to eBike with the KTM, eBike were a good £400 cheaper than everyone else I always shop around for insurance cover though... Best way to save a few quid IMHO
