Title: Insurance for 2 bikes CANADA
Post by: Rboate on September 14, 2021, 04:21:26 PM
Has anyone in Canada added a rider to their home insurance to cover a pair of ebikes.  I contacted my home insurance provider and supplied the bill of sale,confirmation of motor wattage, and speed limited to 32km.  My broker says the underwriter won't provide coverage because of the 750 watt motor even though I confirmed it was only 500 watts on Canadian bikes.

I use Veloinsurance, check if they offer Cadian coverage.  It is a bicycle inclusive insurance.  It is their market.  See what they say. 

Most home insurance here in Iowa, USA doesn't offer high-end specialized equipment.  The owner/renter deductible is set at ~$1k, which would suck!

I'm in Canada and I use Intact insurance for my house and they cover an e-bike up to 500 watts. When I spoke to them they said I didn't need to add any extra insurance as they already include coverage for one e-bike. The bike had to be restricted to the 500 watts mentioned, a top speed of 32 kmh (I think) and they insure up to a maximum of $3000.00 CDN. When I gave them the wattage and top speed of my Radwagon 4 they said it was covered and, if it is stolen, all I need to do is confirm ownership and it would be covered.

If I had a claim I'm guessing they would need some additional information as well but I was happy with their answer. If we get two e-bikes I'll look into additional insurance.
