We have some great news for e-scooter riders!
As the leading provider of e-scooter insurance in Australia, Bicycle Queensland is proud to be piloting a new, increased insurance offering, providing you with more peace of mind each time you ride your scooter.
Our e-scooter membership and e-scooter add-on will now cover you for personal accident insurance. Not only will you have peace of mind if you happen to cause an accident and injure someone or damage their property, but you will also be covered if you sustain injuries while riding your scooter.
More information about the insurance can be found on our website, and information on e-scooter rules and regulations can be found here.
E-scooter insurance is available as a standalone membership, without bike riding insurance, or it can be purchased as an add-on to our Individual or Concession bike riding memberships.
We have you covered no matter where you live! You don’t need to live in Queensland to purchase our memberships; they’re available Australia-wide!
From 1 September 2023, all existing members who have e-scooter insurance will be covered for personal accident insurance in addition to public liability insurance. As with our bike riding personal accident insurance, you can claim the out-of-pocket expenses after claiming through your private health insurance, and you also have access to income protection.
To reflect these inclusions, the following price changes will be applied from 1 September 2023:
- E-scooter membership – $113 annual / $10.99 monthly
- E-scooter add-on (annual) – $62
- E-scooter add-on (monthly) – $6.50
We are very excited to offer this increased protection! If you have any questions, please check our website, FAQs or email membership@bq.org.au.
