E-Bike Insurance - A Warning

[KTM Gordo]

I've just been having a look through the policy that E-Bike Insurance offer. On page 10 there is an interesting clause:

Good find. Might be worth dropping them an email to see what they say.

I think I'll be dropping them an email.

What if your house is on a non-paved road - does that mean you can't ever take your bike to/from the house legally?

[Welsh Al]

That's a pretty standard clause, and has turned up in every policy i've ever had regardless of who was covering me or what they were covering me to use.

Green lanes aren't defined, but it's certainly not your driveway, and we all know what they are. If you want to do a 'Long Way Round' you need to spend extra money. Money on the bike, money on the equiptment. Why not extra money on specific insurance?.

Nobody would expect your road insurance to cover you at Cadwell Park, why should it be any different if you're offroading?.

E-Bike is supposed to be the providing a no-frills, cheap as chips service, and they do that by covering as little as possible.

As G and Gordo've said, that's not standard by any means. Since when is it reasonable for an insurance policy to say they won't cover you on public roads? Anyone who's ever done any laning will know that the difference between byways and motocross tracks / enduros is exactly the same as the difference between road riding and track riding, i.e. one's a public right of way and you have to take all kinds of stuff into consideration and the other's a place to arse about to your heart's content.

Looks pretty standard also instigator, did you tell them you kept it in a garage?
