Does bike insurance cover commuting and daily riding?
Yes. BikeInsure covers bicycles and e-bikes used for commuting and everyday riding when enrolled under Bike Ride Insure (Casual) coverage for non-electric bicycles and Electric Bike Insure (E-Bike) protection for e-bikes.
These usage types include commuting, casual riding, fitness, training, and mass-participation charity rides that do not require a racing license. Coverage applies on roads and off-road within the United States and Canada.
If a covered accident occurs while riding or during transit, the policy pays the cost to restore the insured equipment — the bicycle or e-bike and listed accessories — to its pre-loss condition using new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or equivalent parts, including labor and applicable tax, based on a written estimate from a local bike shop of the policyholder's choice, up to the Item Amount of Insurance, less the $150 deductible.
Optional theft protection may also be added. When selected, the bicycle or e-bike is covered against theft while secured when unattended.
Competitive cycling usage requires Bike Race Insure (Competitive) coverage.
