Coverage: What does a good Segway insurance provide?
A powerful Segway insurance offers much more than just the legally required basic protection. At nextsure, you can tailor your insurance coverage to your individual needs. The **Segway liability insurance** is the foundation and covers personal injury, property damage, and financial losses up to high sums that you may cause to third parties. This is essential as compensation claims can quickly reach existentially threatening levels. You can extend your protection optionally: The **partial coverage insurance** helps in cases of theft of your Segway, damage from fire, explosion, storm, hail, lightning or flooding. Glass breakage and short circuit damage to wiring are often included. For comprehensive all-round protection, the **comprehensive insurance** is recommended. It also covers self-inflicted accident damage to your own Segway as well as wilful or malicious damage by others (vandalism). Carefully analyse your needs and choose the coverage that offers you maximum security for your Segway and your trips.

How to find the right Segway insurance tariff
Choosing the right Segway insurance requires careful consideration of your individual needs and the available tariffs. Start with a detailed needs analysis: How often and on which routes do you use your Segway? Is it primarily for leisure or for daily commuting to work? How and where is it parked and stored, especially considering theft protection and weather influences? Based on this, define the desired scope of coverage – is the mandatory liability insurance sufficient for you or do you want the extended protection of partial or comprehensive insurance? Compare the offers of different insurers not only in terms of price but also with regard to the specific coverage contents and exclusions. Pay attention to the amount of liability sums (we recommend at least 100 million euros as a lump sum). Check the conditions of the deductible in the event of a claim; a higher deductible can reduce the premium but also means higher personal costs in case of damage. At nextsure, you benefit from transparent tariffs and an intuitive digital comparison tool that helps you configure the optimal Segway insurance for your specific requirements and complete it directly online.
Costs of Segway Insurance: Factors and Saving Tips
The cost of Segway insurance is not fixed at a flat rate but depends on a range of individual factors. A crucial aspect is the **value and model** of your Segway; newer and more expensive models generally tend to be costlier to insure under comprehensive cover. The chosen **scope of coverage** plays a decisive role: a pure liability insurance is naturally cheaper than a comprehensive combination with partial or full coverage. The amount of the agreed **deductible** in the event of a claim also affects the annual or monthly premium – the higher your chosen deductible, the lower the insurance premium. The **age of the main driver** can also be a factor, as insurers take statistical risk profiles into account. There may also be slight regional differences in rates. To save costs, a careful comparison of different offers is essential. Choose a deductible that you can comfortably afford in the event of a claim. Consider critically whether you need full coverage or if partial coverage suffices for your individual usage profile and the value of your Segway. At nextsure, you receive fair and transparent prices for your Segway insurance, which you can calculate and adjust online at any time.
Legal Basis: Understanding the Small Electric Vehicles Ordinance (eKFV)
The use of Segways in public road traffic in Germany is subject to clear legal regulations, primarily defined in the **Elektrokleinstfahrzeuge-Verordnung (eKFV)** from June 2019. According to this regulation, Segways are considered small electric vehicles and require a **general operating permit (ABE)** or an individual operating permit as well as a **valid insurance sticker** for legal operation. This sticker, often a self-adhesive foil badge, serves as visible proof of an existing and paid motor vehicle liability insurance. Driving without this sticker on public roads and spaces is strictly prohibited and can result in heavy fines; moreover, there is no insurance cover in case of damage. The eKFV also regulates other important aspects such as the minimum age for drivers (usually 14 years), permissible traffic areas (cycle paths, cycle lanes, protective stripes; only if these are not available, may the roadway be used – pavements are off-limits), and technical minimum requirements for the vehicles, such as two independent brakes and a functioning lighting system. Inform yourself thoroughly about the applicable regulations before your first ride to travel safely and legally with your Segway. Your nextsure Segway insurance naturally meets all legal requirements of the eKFV.
Safe on the Move: Important Tips for All Segway Riders
Your own safety and that of other road users should always be the top priority when riding a Segway. Even though riding a Segway is often described as intuitive and easy to learn, it requires practice, attention, and responsible behaviour. Always wear a **suitable and tested helmet** on every ride – even though there is no general helmet requirement for Segways, it is highly recommended. Consider additional protective gear such as knee and elbow pads, especially if you are still uncertain. Always ride **anticipatively and defensively**, anticipate potential mistakes by others and pay particular attention to pedestrians, cyclists, and crossing vehicles. Familiarise yourself with the specific functions and current condition of your Segway before each ride – check especially the tyre pressure, brake function, and battery level. Ensure **good visibility**, especially at dusk, in the dark, or in bad weather conditions, by wearing bright clothing and ensuring your Segway's lighting is in working order and compliant. Respect all applicable traffic rules and speed limits. Practise handling your Segway, particularly starting, braking, and cornering safely, initially in a quiet, low-traffic area before venturing into denser public traffic. By driving responsibly, you significantly minimise the risk of accidents.

Segway Insurance Comparison: What You Should Consider as a Customer
The market for Segway insurance offers a growing variety of rates and providers, but not every plan is ideally suited to your individual needs and specific Segway model. A careful and detailed comparison is therefore essential to find the best possible protection at fair conditions. When making your comparison, pay attention not only to the price but also to the **scope of the insurance services offered**: What risks are specifically covered? Are there any relevant exclusions or limitations in the policy terms that could be disadvantageous for you? The **coverage limits**, particularly in the mandatory liability insurance, should be chosen high enough to reliably cover larger and more costly damages (at least 100 million euros for personal injury, property damage, and financial loss is generally recommended). Check the conditions of the **deductible** in the partial and comprehensive insurance – how high is it in the event of a claim, and does it match your financial risk tolerance? How accessible is the provider's **customer service**, and how is its quality rated by other customers? A good **price-performance ratio** is always more important than the absolute lowest price. Also, read the **contract terms** (the so-called "fine print") carefully to avoid unexpected surprises later. At nextsure, we place the utmost importance on transparent conditions and are happy to help you understand the differences between the offers and make the right choice.
Special cases: Segway insurance for tours and commercial use
The insurance for a Segway used solely for private purposes differs significantly from the more complex requirements that arise when the vehicle is used commercially – for example, for guided Segway tours, rental services, or promotional activities. For such **specific commercial use cases**, an extended or specifically designed commercial liability insurance is often essential. Standard private Segway insurances typically explicitly exclude commercial use in their terms or do not provide sufficient or suitable coverage for this. If you plan to use your Segway commercially, it is crucial to discuss this in detail with your insurer in advance and ensure whether and how this specific purpose can be adequately covered. Significantly higher insurance sums may be required, specific clauses for renting out to third parties, or a business liability insurance that takes into account the particular risks of commercial activity. Additionally, ensuring the Segways themselves against theft, damage, or embezzlement in a commercial context requires special attention and, if necessary, special comprehensive rates. Nextsure focuses on digital insurance solutions for private clients; for complex commercial Segway insurances, we are happy to advise you on specialized providers or check on a case-by-case basis whether we can offer suitable solutions through partners.
Is Segway insurance legally required in Germany?
Segways, e-scooters, and similar small electric vehicles are now an established and growing part of modern urban micro-mobility. Their share of daily traffic, especially in cities, is expected to continue increasing, driven by the demand for flexible, more environmentally-friendly, and individual means of transportation. This dynamic trend is also having a lasting impact on the insurance industry, calling for innovative responses. We anticipate further **specialisation and even greater digitalisation** of insurance products for this new category of vehicles. Future insurance trends may increasingly include **telematics-based tariffs** (e.g., pay-as-you-drive or pay-how-you-drive, where individual driving behaviour influences the premium), even more flexible short-term insurance for spontaneous use, or modular systems tailored more precisely and specifically to individual usage behaviour and specific risks. Sustainability aspects, the integration of anti-theft technologies, and advanced safety features of the vehicles themselves may also play a more significant role in pricing and risk assessment in the future. Nextsure is closely monitoring these exciting developments to continue offering you innovative, customised, and digital insurance solutions for your Segway mobility, which always meet the latest standards, technologies, and customer needs.
