I suggest Taking a Picture of the Serial Number Next time You Put Your Bike Upside Down.

Applies to Analog and Digital Bikes.

The Insurance Wants this.

 

Normal bikes this is under the BB

 

 

With ebikes the motor is in this space.  Giant puts this number on the lower-back of the seat stay.

I've always used a broker and let them do the fighting on my behalf and has worked out for me.

Wondering if that is not the better way to go?

Your experiences...

In my experience yes. Because like Robbie says " I know where you live"

Similar story as above my bike was stolen offered rewards, popped up everywhere I got a call from a guy in Edenvale he saw my bike, eventually I get a call from the “police” they have my bike sent me “proof of life” with dodgy meet me behind the shed ****, phoned the insurance who had already paid me out I said there is my bike get it I’ll buy it back, his answer no I must get it

 

told him no skin off my back I’m trying to save you money

insurance expensive or cheap will always look for gaps, now my bikes are under my house policy and if I leave the house I have big cover for theft, and the bikes need not be specified as that was insane money

 

im NOW insured with santam
 

 

long story short it was being used as a commute🙈🙈🙈
