Categories: Bicycle Insurance | February 15th, 2009 | by admin | no comments

Scooters, also known as mopeds, are becoming an increasing mode of transportation. They are economical for people living in densely populated communities, university and college students. In some parts of the world, like in Asian communities, scooters are used more than cars. Scooters consume little fuel, if any, take up literally very little space, and are inexpensive to insure.

Bike Insurance the Easy Way

Categories: Bicycle Insurance | April 10th, 2009 | by admin | no comments

Bike theft is on the rise with thieves running off with hundreds of millions worth of bikes every year, a third of which are taken from outside people’s homes. However, it pays dividends for cyclists and motorcyclists to check through their home insurance policy to make sure that they are covered not only for having a bike outside their property but also to cover all eventualities, including those that occur while cycling away from the home.

The majority of home insurance policies will cover the theft

How well do bicycle motors work that fit over the back wheel & provide power through a roller on the tire?

Categories: Bicycle Insurance | June 10th, 2009 | by admin | one comments

jeprobert2 asked:

They are powered by small 2 or 4 cycle engines like the Robin EHO-35. In most locations, they do not require a license or insurance if under 50cc. I have found them on the web, but not in local stores. Do they work well for short, local trips? Do they really get 80-150 MPG?

Will I be found automatically GUILTY because of lack of insurance at the time of a minor accident?

Categories: Bicycle Insurance | March 9th, 2009 | by admin | 6 comments

m126 asked:

I had someone riding a bicycle run into the side of my car.

He seemed fine and his bicycle was fine too…. We exchanged Names, Addresses & Phone Numbers. However, at the time I did not have auto insurance (but do now), but i never disclosed this fact.

Now 10 months later, i am getting sued for $160,000 ($150K of it is for pain & suffering)! The guy who served me said don’t worry, just forward the paperwork to your insurance company.

There is a set court date
