Getting Insurance for Your Scooter or Tricycle from FatWheelScoot

So you've got your scooter registered (or we did it for you), how do you get it insured?

There can be a couple of issues that make it a little more complicated than normal. Firstly many insurers may not have heard of your scooter model and secondly that a newly registered scooter will take some time to show up on insurer's databases (depending on how frequently they update their database from the DVLA).

The answer to both these issues is to call the insurer up and give them your registration number to get a quote. Most will have the ability to add models not in their database manually as well as manually add registrations that have not been copied over from the DVLA yet.

Two insurers that customers have had success with (and good prices from) are Lexham and Bikesure. Prices seem to be roughly in the range of £80 to £250 (mine is £127.66 from Lexham), but this obviously depends on a wide variety of factors. You can normally save by paying upfront rather than monthly. Typically addons offered by insurers represent poor value for money, but depending on your situation may be worth it.
