Insurance
With our bicycles and e-bikes, you can ride all your daily routes in a relaxed manner and do without a car. Unfortunately, these popular two-wheelers are also susceptible to damage. Even a minor accident or fall is enough to damage bicycles and especially e-bikes with their sensitive electronics. The result: lengthy repairs and high costs. At the same time, (e-)bikes are very popular with thieves.
To protect you and your bike from the financial consequences of damage or theft, our insurance partner hepster has developed powerful and comprehensive bike and e-bike insurance that covers you and your bike against damage, theft and wear and tear.
Exclusively for you: With the code "HEP5FS24" you save 5% on your insurance!
To find the right insurance for you, first decide on the basis of your permanent residence in Germany or Austria, which solution is suitable for you.
