Getting a good insurance plan is the first thing you should do after purchasing a bike. The bike insurance plan financially guards you against any potential losses or damages brought on by any disasters, whether they are caused by nature or human activity.

Although the insurance may cover your bike, it does not cover the loss of personal electronic equipment or any of your prized possessions that are lost along with the bike. If your bike is stolen, the insurance provider is only responsible for compensating you for the bike and not for your personal possessions. So, how would you secure your personal items, such as your mobile phone? Let's see.

What is the personal electronic equipment add-on cover in bike insurance?

As the name implies, the add-on cover provides insurance for any loss of personal electronic equipment that may have been taken in addition to your covered bike. Comprehensive insurance, a stand-alone own-damage package policy, or an upgrade at the time of a policy renewal are all options for purchasing the coverage. Your insurance will refund the insured sum specified for the stolen items that were present at the time of the theft after taking into account the depreciation for those items, in a similar manner done for the stolen bike.
