How to insure your MINI e-bike.

Civil liability insurance.

In France, everyone who takes to the road is subject to civil liability laws, including cyclists. Therefore, if you're involved in a bike accident and found liable, you may be required to pay compensation to a third party. This covers any property damage or bodily injuries caused. These charges can be covered by general liability insurance, most commonly taken out for a home or car, as it often includes cover for leisure activities that include cycling. Civil liability insurance is therefore not compulsory, but it is strongly recommended if you want to ride with total peace of mind.

Although civil liability insurance is not specifically designed for cyclists, it can be applied in the event of an accident. It generally covers damage you may cause to others as a road user, whether you're cycling, walking or driving. It's important to check the details of your liability insurance and confirm that you're covered as a cyclist.

Accident insurance.

Accidents can result in serious bodily injuries, as well as considerable medical expenses and, sometimes, even temporary or permanent disability. Accident insurance offers comprehensive financial coverage to help cope with these unexpected costs. It can cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, daily benefits for professional incapacity, and even benefits for permanent disability.

One of the key features of personal accident insurance is its ability to be customized to your specific needs as a cyclist. Whether you're a part-time cyclist or a bike expert, tailor your policy to suit your unique needs. This includes specific benefits related to cycling, such as coverage for accidents that occur during competitions, long-distance rides or commutes.

Theft insurance.
