    Try your local insurance agent, as a starting point.

    Could you not add them to your Household policy?

    We have cover for our ebikes from 'Asure', it covers the bikes against theft, damage and us against 3rd part liability. Cost about £60 per year for both bikes for anywhere in Europe. There are other companies that do the same cover. house insurance will cover the bikes but you don't get 3rd party liability cover which we find useful in Europe.

    Hi all thanks for your quick response  i have asked my house insurer but ( wrongly )I think they class them as motorised and would not insure.  Thanks Tammy girl I will check  Asure out that sounds quite good.

    Most home insurers will cover them for far less than a stand alone policy so not sure who you are insured with.

    If you want to take it abroad though some countries do require a motor insurance policy, Spain being the main one so I would check that out before taking it.
