I have been insured with Hastings direct who are crap and am trying ebike. Third of the price and more cover. Has anyone had dealings good or bad with ebike?

top notch no probs, no cover o/s europe though 
Got my Carol Nash ins renewal thru.
Fired up the pc, got a quote from e-biker on the screen.
Phoned CN and said "I'm looking at a quote from e-bike on my screen and it's a LOT cheaper than you................"
Bit of "Can you hold", a few questions and ended up paying £30 more than the e-bike quote, but when you add in the European breakdown that CN do and that E-bike don't, bit of a bargain I thought.
Pays to 'phone.....................Altho if they hadn't dropped their price I woul dhave gone thru E-bike and sorted out a European breakdown cover scheme

Got my renewal in from CN it was £196 fully comp, eBike gave me a quote of between £102 & £116 fully comp depending on what voluntary excess I took, £102 was £500 voluntary, £116 was zero voluntary excess with a £175 compulsory xs, I know who I'll be going with 
Greetings Jon, that just goes to show how much we were being ripped off in the first place if our old underwriters can suddenly knock a huge chunk off the policy costs. EBike have rocked the motoring insurance sharks, basicaly existing companies are saying "thanks for letting us shaft you for x years, we now realise there is competition and we will have to reduce our huge proffit margine....." I'd of told them where to shove it, as indeed I did last July.Jon said:

I was in a hurry and just wanted the euro breakdown.............might change next year
The funny thing was they'd changed my policy supplier and then suddenly the original one came in with a lower quote...............
Lets face it, they try and stitch you for whatever they think you'll pay and unfortunately a lot of people do..........good on e-boke though.
The equivalent in ireland is costing me €630! Lads, you have it handy in england!
Think about where you ride
Carole Nash renewal quote £269 fully comp, reduce to £242 when I told them about ebike. The cost from ebike = £161.50 with £200 voluntary excess.
Big, big saving on first glane.
However, cost of European breakdown to cover a 10 day trip £53.50 (AA) and 5 day trip to Eire £33.70(AA). So the saving is wiped out.
Beware if you do intend to travel abroad. I still went with ebike as I may not actually get abroad this year but if I do get a couple of trips in I wont have saved any money.

MCN Insurance survey
In this weeks comic a good article on insurance. Worth the £1.70 just to see who is offering what. Mines not due till August but will again be looking for the best multi bike policy.
