India's E-Bike market is set to expand from approximately INR 3 Billion in 2019 to 17+ Billion by 2024. The first six months of the year witnessed more electric two-wheelers being sold than the entire last year. With an expected growth of over 42%, the future undoubtedly looks as promising as the present.
Electric bikes' evolving footprints across the country can be attributed to multiple factors. The prominent ones include rising fuel prices, pollution concerns, lower maintenance costs, government initiatives, better subsidies, and charging infrastructures for E-Vehicles.
While these essentially noise-free no-emission bikes slowly gain popularity as excellent long-term options, many lack clarity regarding their insurance necessities.
Let's simplify Electric Bike Insurance!
Well, technically speaking, all two-wheelers plying on public roads must carry at least a third-party policy. That being said, electric two-wheeler insurance arrangements, especially for the low-powered ones, are at an initial stage with no definitive guidelines.
Many E-Bikes/Scooters with less than 250 W power and up to 25 K/Hr speed limits are not even categorised as motor vehicles and are exempt from insurance. However, the same does not hold for high-powered E-Bikes, and they need insurance. Therefore, if unsure, you must check with the E-Vehicle dealer or reach out to your preferred insurer.
Yes, that's 5 years of third-party coverage; for your new E-Bike/Scooter.
Up to INR 7.5 Lakhs.
Yes! The battery is a critical component of any electric two-wheeler. E-Bike comprehensive insurance plans are specifically designed to ensure robust coverage for the battery.
It's not necessarily true, and as most E-Bike insurance policies are in their introductory phrases, one can not make a generalistic observation.
A KPMG/CII report points out a 25-35% penetration of E-Bikes/Scooters in India by 2030. EV makers and electric two-wheeler insurance companies are fairly bullish about the advancement of E-Bikes in the country.
As customer-reluctance transforms into acceptability, it's a wise approach to pay attention to electric two-wheelers' benefits and their insurance conveniences.
