Tandem insurance
Happy New Year
We are now proud owners of a JD tandem electric assist E8 Orbit and wondered if members could advise on Tandem insurance.
We have sold our much loved Mercian but this tandem is awesome.
We swapped to Pedal Cover. They have first class service, and their policy covers taxi fares in the event of breakdowns.
Tread carefully with bike breakdown cover. We had a well known one and I confirmed they could deal with a Tandem. The time came when needed the service with a blown tyre on a tour. The call centre refused to help due to none standard bike and said we'd have to source our own taxi and claim a refund. I did this and was then told this would only be a 'one off' as a gesture of good will! Obviously I did not renew with them and complained. I did not realise Pedal cover had the taxi refund inc in the policy at the time. FYI, I've just added a £6k E cargo bike and my wife's new £3k adventure bike, no policy increase.
