[dusty_nz]

Does anyone have any experience with regards to Ebike? Its about $200 cheaper than insure your ride. Need to insure my new bike.

what would you guys recommend.

[T-roy]

Yeah just insured my bike and got $800 cheaper than everywhere else. Top service

Ask for charlie when you call them.

insure my ride quoted $3100

ebike quoted $2300

QBE didn't even send me a quote

Rac told me to get fucked

[polonY]

ive done trial quotes on both for when ill need insurance and i've found insuremyride to be cheaper, just read the fine print and make sure ebike offers everything that you need, dont worry about what other people think

[Mish]

Someone told me that ebike was dodgy as they aren't actually based in Australia and therefore don't have to comply to all the laws that Australia has. I think they're based in Turkey or something...although based on what T-roy just said, maybe I'm thinking of another one...

[friendly fire]

insure my ride quoted $3100

Thats 40-45% of the bike value!! + there will be an excess as well. Why not just get 3rd party.

Finance costs would be less than your insurance

haha thats ok iall insurance places I rang were going to charge me more than what I bought the bike for!!

[T-roy]

They are based in Queensland, My excess is something like 1500. i wanted full comp, im pretty sure ill crash my bike, I haven't got a drivers license, or a full bike license yet that's why it was so high. doesnt bother me, its a price im willing to pay to ride

some advice: Internet quotes are always bullshit high, they will give you a lower price. just give them a call

[Pommie]

Western QBE were miles cheaper than Ebike when I called, funnily enough though, Charlie put me onto ECar insurance, got a really cheap full comp quote for the car though...

[richie_b]

make sure you check out the other excesses that they don't state when you sign up. There are some other amounts that they add to the standard 500$ when you are in certain age groups / years riding etc.

[Gordan]

I just got quoted $3685 p.a from eBike for full comprehensive insurance. I might go for just 3rd party.

[Viper]

no shit ... granted i'm 32 but my 636 is insured with qbe for $650. Covers pipe, knobs etc as well. Just re-newed it yesterday.

[XXX3]

Bleh I tried a quote about 30 mins ago, didn't go through with it (3000pa), now getting calls from them about switching my 3rd party to them... bah piss off.

[shmoo]

yeah i always suggest ringing up the various companies because you can often get much better deal than the online quote systems will offer.

[red_mitch]

I'm with EBike. All good so far.

[Charger]

Shannons quoted me $1041
Ebike quoted me $416

No competition

[shmoo]

just keep in mind that there is a lot you need to compare, not just price. Not all insurance policies are created equal.

[Gava]

Lots of threads on insurance but if its any help, Western QBE cover my 04 R1 for $535 and a $500 excess as the only nominated rider (I'm 35). Shannons etc were all more expensive by at least $100, sometimes double. RAC told me to forget it.

Oh and any chance of going back to your old avatar shmoo?

A fool and his money are easily parted.
