How we protect your bicycle

Theft protection

Let’s say you go for a drink and despite locking your bike properly, someone manages to steal it. We’ll refund its full value. And we don’t charge you any excess, nor do we take into account bike value depreciation in the first three years.

Material damage protection

We pay for repairs to your bike when material damage has been caused by an accident, vandalism, flood, or fire and other external events. An excess of £35 applies.

Exclusions

  • The bike must be locked with an approved lock - either ABUS BORDO (security 10 or higher), ART (category 2 or higher), FUB (2 wheels or higher), or Sold Secure Silver (or Gold) - and must have been attached to a fixed point during its theft.
  • Wheels, tyres and electric batteries are not covered if they are stolen separately from the bike.
  • Cosmetic damage (scratches, bumps, etc.) is not covered.

Bike insurance FAQs

Any questions? We’re ready to answer

We’re happy to give you the information you need about your bike insurance policy and its benefits.

Which bikes are covered?

We cover all types of two- and three-wheeled bikes that can only be started and propelled by human force, or the assistance speed of which, if applicable, does not exceed 15.5 mph.

We also cover second-hand bikes, provided they are fewer than 12 months old at the time of purchase. In the case of second-hand bikes and new bikes over 30 days old, we will ask you to send us recent photos of your bike when taking out the policy.

What is theft insurance?

We insure bikes against theft and damage caused in the event of theft or attempted theft, as well as theft or attempted theft caused by assault. If your bike is stolen, we will reimburse you after deducting any excess and depreciation. No depreciation is applied to the compensation calculation during the first 36 months (3 years) of the bike. As from the 37th month, a depreciation is applied. The minimum amount of compensation is set at 50% of the insured value as shown in the table of benefit in the terms and conditions and policy schedule.

What is material damage insurance?

We intervene in the event of material damage to the insured bike:

  • accidentally caused to the insured bike by external forces or accidentally caused by yourself;
  • caused by an act of vandalism;
  • caused by contact with animals or natural elements such as fire or flood.

We will reimburse you for the cost of repairs after application of any excess and depreciation. No depreciation is applied to the compensation calculation during the first 36 months (3 years) of the bike. As from the 37th month, a depreciation is applied.
