Motorcycling (up to 50cc) Insurance

Motorcycling (up to 50 cc)

If you're up for a little adventure over the holidays, you may want to try motorcycling. Often considered a rough sport, motorcycling can actually be quite fun especially if you are visiting a foreign city. It's a great way to explore the place and enjoy the outdoors. Many people prefer motorcycles over cars because they're easier to handle and take up less space on the road. However, motorcycling accidents are very common, so we recommend securing travel insurance if you want to give it a try.

Whether you're on a leisurely ride by the countryside or running errands through the city, road accidents are the biggest risk in motorcycling. Collisions with other, usually larger vehicles can result in serious injuries like broken bones, deep cuts, concussions, and head trauma. Scratches, bruises, and dislocations can occur from minor falls or crashing into trees or other structures. These are usually expensive to treat, especially if you have no travel insurance.

Motorcycling injuries can easily be prevented by wearing safety equipment, such as helmets and knee and elbow pads. Most cities have motorcycle lanes on their major roads to prevent accidents. If you're new to motorcycling, consider taking a basic safety course before driving on busy roads. Avoid off-road trails unless you are highly experienced and your motorcycle is designed for rough terrains.

Motorcycling on bikes up to 50 cc is considered a grade 1 risk sport. This means it has relatively low risk compared to other sports, although it is not completely safe. It's still best to have your travel insurance in place before trying it out.
