Frequently asked questions

What happens at the end of the 30 days?

Your free insurance will simply expire at the end of the 30 day period and no payment will be taken – we don’t take your payment details.rnrnWe’ll send reminders to let you know when your cover ends and, at any time, you have the option to take out a full policy with Bikmo, with a unique 5% JE James Cycles discount, so that you stay insured.

How can you give away free cycle insurance?

We want to help riders enjoy their new bike worry-free, and by giving away free insurance we allow people to do so.rnrnHopefully you like what you see with Bikmo, and you choose to stay insured by taking out a full policy. If not, don’t worry, there’s no charge and we won’t spam you into submission like you might think!

What will happen if my bike is stolen or damaged?

If you accidentally damage your bike, or it’s stolen, during the 30 day free insurance period, we will either repair or replace your bike. If we replace your bike this will be new-for-old.

Will you charge me any excess on the claim?

No. Claims under your free cycle insurance are excess-free.

What are the locking requirements for my bike?

We apply the Sold Secure lock rating system to our policy requirements; it’s easy to follow and used by the cycling industry – www.soldsecure.com.

Locks are rated for their level of security. You must use a Sold Secure Gold or Diamond lock.

If your Sold Secure approved U lock comes with an additional wire cable, the cable is not included in the approved rating, it’s just the lock. This means that if you secured the bike through the frame to an immovable object, with the cable only, you wouldn’t be covered!

If you leave your bike unattended away from your home, it’ll need to be locked. There’s times at home too, depending on how you store it, so check out our Locking guide for full details on our requirements.
