eBike Insurance - Welcome to eBike Insurance are always good for a ballpark figure and someone to bounce other insurer's quotes off. It will take you ten mins. on the pooter to find out if they are any good

Ironically however, i was insured with ebike and have just switched to Bennetts for the first time because their quote was half the price.

Bennettts are gay though, they once quoted me £10,998 for a GSXR1000, no shit.

To be honest they're all apathetic, dishonest, grasping and staggeringly, staggeringly incompetent as far as I can tell.

Footman James may be a little better than the rest.

Lying outrageously on the internet since 2003

They are all a bunch off cunts, some just charge you less for the 'service' though.

Been with FJ for ages now, they have always been really helpful and flexible. I cancelled my ZZR insurance moved the refund over to a new policy for the diesel bike and ended up getting 6 months FC for £15. On renewal it'll be £115 FC.

Like I said, really flexible on the odd stuff like ambulances and huge box vans.

Need a ground anchor fitting within 30 miles of Ilford? PM me.

gocompare.com - that's all you need for insurance, every year.

Trust me; me father was an insurance broker for the last 20 years and worked for a big insurance company before that. He retired last year and said to me, "Now I'm not doing your insurance just yse gocompare.com. They're hated in the industry 'cos they show what thieving gits some companies are."

Carol Nash did my last insurance, something I was bloody surprised. They were the cheapest by far, mind you I was a new customer. £170 fully comp for a GSXR 600, 36 years old, no points, garaged, etc, etc.

I always use Ebike, always the cheapest and easiest. All a bunch of useless self serving money grabbing tossers, to me it is just a shitty piece of paper to show coppers when pulled as the chances are whenever you need help they will wiggle out of it anyway.

Another vote for Footman James here. I've used Bennetts and eBike in the past and FJ beats both of them

I'm now with Bennets as they were half the price of my e-bike renewal, and to be perfectly honest, Bennets were really helpful when I switched from the Blade to the RSV.

Been with loads of insurers over the last 30 years, and never made a claim on my own policy for bikes OR cars (although made two claims on the other parties insurers) and found all insurers to be pretty much the same, in that they issue you with a piece of paper that lets you ride legally.

Still miss the Norwich Unions Rider Policy......................ah, happy days!
