E-Bike

[evoboy]

Anyone taken out a policy with Ebike online?

I did one 2 hours ago, paid in full and NEEDED it to commence at 6pm this eve.

I have no comfirmation via email of anything to do with the insurance policy, no numbers, nothing, even though ive already paid for it. (just the payment details).

How long does it normaly take for it to go through? As im stranded at a mates house with the bike untill the policy starts. (thanks to my previous insurance not telling me my insurance had ended!)

Yes, I have, and it was done immediately once I'd paid. They send an email to confirm you are covered, and then the documentation gets posted later.

Yup, the policy started straight away, they emailed me the cover note.

Cheers.

Will wait a bit longer and see if anything comes through. Only want to print off a cover note!

Is it in your junk mail folder?

I'm a real fan of ebike, I'm sure you are covered.
I would say that following my recent accident on the MT03 (destroyed) they are quite rightly refusing to settle because I (quite honestly) forgot to tell them about a no-fault incident that befell my work van two years ago. This is fair play, and I don't object to paying for my stupid mistakes. I'm actually quite remorseful as I injured my partner quite badly, so in a way I am pleased they stuffed me.
Experience can be expensive, 3.5K in this case, so make sure you play their game to the letter.

I'm with E-Bike.

My experience hasn't been so pleasent.

Due to a dissagreement over my restricter, which is now resolved, in my legitamet favour, I was riding without cover for a week without knowledge. Was only when I went to check their policy on moving policy to other bikes was I informed I wasn't covered.

Useless in the fact they only deal over the internet, they avoided me, tried to catch me out in cancelling my policy and making me pay it in full.

Will be leaving them as soon as possible.

Good for bike policies, but stay away when it comes to e-car it's to much hassle

Not had a problem in regards with the OP's situation; but generally have found them irksome for a few reasons.

[Cheeseybeaner]

They're a faceless organisation that like to operate by keeping their distance and dodging the bullet wherever possible.
I found them competitive for courier cover when they first began but they soon changed and policy costs spiralled on their pay as you go monthly scheme so I switched to wicked quotes who I'm with till today, 80% cheaper and no problems with communication.
They are difficult to get in contact with, premium rate lines and 30 minutes queueing, emails go unreplied to and you have to chase your money with them every time they make a mistake, which they do an awful lot.
They remind me of city sprint actually!

I found e-bike great, until I needed to make a claim.

Wouldn't touch 'em with a bargepole tbh.

while we are discussing insurers, anyone got any opinions on motorcycle direct ? For me its them and ebike who give me the low quotes, so i tend to alternate between them. I'm currently with motorcycle direct and its coming up to renewal time.

As said above, log in, it will give status there.

I have e-bike and the email came through pretty quick IIRC (started it a few years back now).

Thankfully not had to make a claim thus far, but I went with e-bike due to the ease of adding another/multiple bikes to the same policy!

The only thing that isn't so great is that, unlike many other comprehensive policy's, with e-bike, you are NOT covered to ride other peoples bikes 3rd party, which is a real shame
