Costs & Tariffs: How to Find the Right E-Bike Insurance
The cost of an e-bike insurance policy depends on various factors. Key considerations include the new price of your e-bike, your place of residence (risk assessment by postcode), and the chosen level of coverage. A basic theft insurance is cheaper than comprehensive coverage, which also includes accident damage, wear and tear, and electronic damage. At nextsure, you can customise your insurance coverage modularly. When choosing a tariff, consider whether you only need theft protection or wish for comprehensive security that includes coverage of repair costs. Pay attention to the amount of the deductible – a higher deductible can reduce the premium, but it means higher costs in the event of a claim. Also, compare the conditions for battery protection and whether wear parts are covered. Our online tariff calculator helps you quickly and transparently determine the optimal tariff for your e-bike and complete the process digitally. Invest in your safety and mobility with a tailor-made e-bike insurance from nextsure.
Claim: What to Do? Your Guide to Quick Assistance
In the event of damage, quick and correct action is crucial to make your claims under the e-bike insurance. In case of theft, promptly report it to the police and file a report. Note down the case reference number. Then, immediately inform nextsure about the theft. You can conveniently do this online via our customer portal or by phone. Have your insurance number, the frame number of your e-bike, and a copy of the police report ready. In the event of damage, carefully document it with photos before ordering a repair. If required and depending on the extent of the damage, obtain a cost estimate and submit it to us along with the damage report. Our expert team will review your case promptly and inform you about the next steps. The goal of nextsure is straightforward and transparent claims processing, so you can get back on the road quickly.
Theft protection for your e-bike: Prevention and insurance in harmony
E-bikes are highly sought after by thieves. A high-quality lock is the first and most important measure for prevention. Ideally, use a robust U-lock, chain lock, or folding lock with a high security level and always secure your e-bike to a fixed object, even for short stops. Register your e-bike with the police or take advantage of coding services. GPS trackers can help locate a stolen bike. Despite all precautions, theft can’t always be prevented. This is where nextsure's e-bike insurance comes into play. It offers financial compensation in the event of the theft of the entire e-bike or permanently installed parts like the battery and display. When taking out insurance, pay attention to the requirements for the bicycle lock - often a specific security level or a minimum purchase price for the lock is prescribed. Combine clever prevention with the reliable protection of our insurance for maximum security.
Battery Insurance: Everything You Need to Know to Protect the Heart of Your E-Bike
The battery is one of the most expensive and essential components of an e-bike. Therefore, a special battery insurance or an appropriate component in your comprehensive e-bike insurance from nextsure is particularly recommended. This protection typically covers damage caused by user error, moisture, electronic defects (e.g., due to overvoltage when charging) and often wear and tear. A powerful battery is crucial for range and riding enjoyment. Since a new battery can cost several hundred to over a thousand euros, insurance offers financial security. Pay attention to the exact conditions when choosing a tariff: Is the battery insured against parts theft? Up to what age of the battery is coverage provided? Is there a limit on the number of charging cycles? nextsure offers transparent conditions to optimally safeguard the heart of your e-bike, ensuring long-lasting enjoyment of your electric mobility.

E-Bike insurance vs. home contents insurance: Where is your bike better protected?
Many e-bike owners wonder whether their expensive bike is already covered by home insurance. Home insurance often only provides cover for burglary from locked premises (e.g. cellar, apartment). There is usually no or only limited cover while on the road. Additionally, the insurance coverage for bicycles in the home insurance policy is often limited and does not fully cover the value of a high-quality e-bike. Specific risks such as accident damage, vandalism, electronic damage to the battery, or wear and tear are generally not included in home insurance. Conversely, dedicated e-bike insurance from nextsure offers tailor-made comprehensive protection. It covers theft even when you are on the go (24/7), takes care of repair costs after accidents or falls, and often comprehensively includes the battery as well. For optimal protection of your valuable e-bike, specialized e-bike insurance is therefore a far better choice compared to sole coverage through home insurance.
Insurance Requirement for E-Bikes: What You Need to Know (Pedelecs, S-Pedelecs)
In Germany, most e-bikes, known as pedelecs (Pedal Electric Cycles) with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h and a maximum motor output of 250 watts, are not legally required to be insured. They are legally considered bicycles. Nevertheless, a voluntary e-bike insurance is strongly recommended due to their high value and risk of theft. It's a different situation for S-pedelecs (Speed Pedelecs): These reach speeds of up to 45 km/h with motor assistance and are classified as mopeds. Liability insurance for S-pedelecs is legally required, identifiable by the insurance number plate. In addition, it is often sensible to have a partial or comprehensive insurance for S-pedelecs, similar to e-bike insurance for pedelecs, to cover theft and damage. nextsure is pleased to inform you about suitable insurance solutions for your e-bike type, ensuring you are always legally compliant and safe on the road.
Choosing the Optimal Plan: 7 Tips for Your E-Bike Insurance
Choosing the right e-bike insurance can be crucial. Here are seven tips from nextsure to help you: 1. **Replacement Value or Current Value:** Check whether, in the event of a claim, the replacement value or the current value of your e-bike is covered, especially in the initial years. 2. **Check the Coverage:** Decide whether theft protection alone is sufficient or if accident, fall, electronics, and wear and tear damages should also be covered (comprehensive insurance). 3. **Battery Protection:** The battery is expensive. Review the specific conditions of the battery insurance (including wear and tear). 4. **Excess:** A higher excess lowers the premium but means higher costs in the event of damage. Weigh the options. 5. **Scope of Coverage:** Is the protection limited to Germany, or is it valid across Europe or worldwide? Important for travel. 6. **Lock Requirements:** Find out about any specific requirements for the bike lock. 7. **Additional Services:** Do you need a roadside assistance cover? Compare the offers carefully to find the optimal protection for you. Our digital tariff advisor supports you in this process.
