What to consider when insuring an electric bike?

[alstongus]

Hi all,
Have just purchased an electric bike (pedelec) and am wondering whether I need to consider anything additional when insuring it, above and beyond the usual! I'm thinking that as it's more likely to break down, maybe it's worth having cover that covers that, if such a thing even exists?

Also, I'm buying a reduced last year end-of-line model, so the warranty is reduced compared to usual.

Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum.

Roadside breakdown assistance for bikes is a thing, I'd expect it to be available for e-bikes too. Wait for suggestions or start googling.

Any ideas?

Always read the small print.
