For the last few years I've insured with Lexham, Carole Nash and Motorcycle Direct. I've always had more than one scooter, without a garage and never had any problems getting multibike insurance. However, brokers that have quoted me before are now refusing to quote because insurers offering multibike policies now insist you have a garage. (Mine are all ground anchored outside). The only reasonable quote I can get is from Ebike which will insure all three scoots comprehensively in London, outside for £450. If I want Euro cover, it will be an extra £50. The excess on each bike is £350, although I can reduce this to £150 for a premium of £470.
Any of you have any experience of ebike? I have read a few thumbs down reviews on them online.

Re: Ebike insurance?
Have they been good value then? I have two claims, one for theft of a car in 2007 and another for an accicdent in 2008, so I thought that £150 fully comp per scoot wasn't too bad. Some of the comments said that premiums jumped dramatically from year to year.

Re: Ebike insurance?
Been with Ebike 3 years,, not needed to claim but i have found the breakdown cover handy.
Easy to check/alter the cover online and i couldn't find anything much cheaper.
I don't think the price has risen much. No more than a few £.

Re: Ebike insurance?
Being able to change the cover easily online seems a very good thing to me. I find dealing with the brokers a real pain. I should stop changing my scoots so often!

Re: Ebike insurance?
I've changed bikes with them midterm online and have never been charged, a very competitive price, I pay £270 for 4 bikes, the 650 Burgman being the biggest and an Swing being the newest. You can manage your account on line and get free European cover for bike.

Re: Ebike insurance?
Excellent, that's useful advice Dave. I think I am almost certainly going to use them. I suspect that you have a garage though!
