Think it doesn't matter if you misrepresent the horsepower, cylinder capacity, or value of our vehicle? Think again!

Whilst an insurance policy cannot restrict cover for these matters (meaning there is a valid policy in place), they will likely only provide third-party liability... so your own vehicle will not be covered. That means, should you have a collision, your prized possession will not be repaired or replaced!

Even more scary to many is the fact that, in some instances, your insurance providers may sue for breach of contract or for any costs incurred.

Don't risk it #DriveInsured

E-scooters are not harmless ⚠️

E-scooters, e-bikes and other similar vehicles can cause serious injuries, such as spinal and brain injuries that stay with victims for life.

If you injure someone while riding uninsured, you could be liable for their medical bills and compensation, leaving you with a hefty debt to pay off.

Help keep pedestrians and other road users safe, it's not worth the risk.
