Bike Insurance? Does your electric bike need insurance?

September 29, 2020 No Comments Uncategorized

Whilst ensuring your electric bike is not compulsory in England, there are numerous reasons to consider insuring your new ride. It is highly recommended to find a suitable policy in the event that you have an accident, which leaves you and your bike with a public liability cover as well as protection against theft and damage.

 

 

Keep your investment safe

Purchasing an electric bike is a significant investment you want to protect. There are different policies available on the market and you might want to shop around for the coverage that is right for you.

Assuming your home insurance policy provides the right cover is risky as you may only be covered while the bike’s at home. It is worth checking how much cover you are likely to receive as there are some strict conditions and limitations. Whereas specialist electric bike insurance policies often offer higher amounts of cover.

 

 

Electric Bike Insurance Cover

There are different policies available and factors you should consider when comparing ebike policies to find the coverage that is right for you:

  • Theft
  • Accidents and vandalism
  • Third-party liability insurance
  • Replacement cycle hire
  • Cycle rescue
  • Personnel accident
  • Other riders cover
  • Cover for accessories

 

 

Tips to prevent your electric bike from theft

Bike thefts reported to BikeRegister rose by 48% in June, compared to last year, so here are some tips to prevent your electric bike from being stolen in the first place:

  • Register your bike online
  • Invest in a high-quality lock
  • Protect your bike with an ImmobiTag identification chip
  • Store your bike in a secure location covered by CCTV
  • Unlock and remove your battery when you lock it up
  • Secure your bike in a different location every day
  • Don’t leave it parked in public for long periods of time
  • Failing to protect your bike adequately can also result in your insurance protection being invalidated.

 

The cost of specialised electric bike insurance is generally affordable but will vary depending on your policy and the add-ons that your policy offers to increase your coverage. Being on the safe side is always best as the damages you may be responsible for in the case of an accident can be significant.

How to change the speed limit

How to change the speed limit on your Furo X

June 27, 2018 1 Comment Uncategorized

As you know, when shipped to you, your Furo X‘s top speed is electronically limited to 25kph due to EU legal requirements for the bike to be road legal. Once the FX goes over 25kph, the motor automatically cuts off. However, you might want a different speed limit if you are using your bike in an area with different restrictions (e.g. USA 32kph), or in the case where you don’t use your FX on public roads (e.g. on private property). This guide will quickly show you how to change the speed limit on the KD21C key-disp display which equips the Furo X.

 

 

 

1 – Switch on the battery and press and hold the mode button to switch on your screen.
Switch on your ebike display
2 – Once your screen is on, press and hold both the “+” and “-“ buttons to access the general settings.
Enter the general settings
3 – Press and hold the “M” and “-“ button to access the system settings
Enter the system's settings
4 – Once in the system settings, tap “M” to scroll through the different settings. The speed limit setting is marked “LS”.
Access the speed limit setting
5 – Use the “+” and “-“ to adjust the speed limit which can be seen in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Adjust the speed limit
6 – Once you have selected a new setting, press and hold “M” to save and return to the starting screen.
Save and return to the starting screenLegal notice: You must comply with your local regulations to ride your e-bike on public roads, increasing the speed limit over 25kph in the EU will make your e-bike illegal to ride on roads without a license and registration. The limit should only be increased over 25kph for off-road use or in the case where your local regulations allow it.
