Types of electric motorcycle insurance
Third party only
Third party only insurance is the minimum level of cover you’ll need to make your motorcycle road legal. If you’re involved in accident that causes damage, injury etc. to third parties, then the costs will be covered. It doesn’t include any cover for your own vehicle.
Third party, fire and theft
This is the same as third party only as far as accidents go, but your bike will be covered for damage from fire and theft.
Fully comprehensive
Full comprehensive cover will provide full protection for your bike – as well as being covered for fire and theft, it will also be covered for any damage caused by collisions.
