Your e-bike has unique advantages. Your electric bike insurance policy should too.
Riding an electric bike is like riding a bicycle, but with the added boost of a motor. While few insurance carriers understand this, we’ve offered a standalone electric bike insurance policy for ten years that insures e-bikes with power assist up to 750 watts—as well as covering theft, damage and more.
Why do you need electric bike insurance?
Your electric bike is an investment, and you want to have adequate coverage for theft or damage. While it may be true that some homeowners or auto policies provide support for bicycle theft, they typically include fine print exclusions or offer low coverage limits for things like e-bikes.

General questions
What happens when I buy a new bike?
Whether you're replacing your current bicycle or adding to your collection, we can automatically extend your current coverage to the new bike for up to 30 days from the time of purchase. Just let us know before the 30 days are up for coverage to extend beyond that time period.What about my apparel? Spare parts? Do you cover these too?
If you purchase bicycle physical damage coverage and your bicycle is involved in a covered loss, your apparel or spare parts may be covered. We can automatically include coverage for spare parts (replacements for items that are normally part of the insured bike but were not on the bicycle when the loss occurred) and apparel (clothing or gear worn exclusively when riding the insured bicycle). Both coverages have a separate limit of $500 per loss and a $1,000 limit for the policy period.Can I pay online?
Absolutely! Visit our Pay My Bill page, where you can make a payment with a credit card, debit card or through your checking account. You can make a one-time payment, or set up automatic recurring payments so you never miss a payment. -
