For the underwriting of a bike insurance, the risk is accepted (or refused) on the basis of the following criteria or, if applicable, their combination:

• The age of the policyholder. Only persons of 18 years or more are allowed to subscribe to an insurance contract.
• The country where the principal residence of the policyholder is located. The use of this criterion is based on the statistical observation that the administration of contracts and claims is more costly abroad.
• The type of bikes to be insured. The use of this criterion is based on the fact that the risk is different for some types of “bikes”, like speed-pedelecs, pocket-bikes or steps.
• The value of the insured bike and accessories. Above a certain value, the needs are different and require a specific insurance product.
• The age of the bike to insure as from the first purchase. Only the bikes of less than 1 year old are allowed for this insurance product. After 5 years the insurance contract is canceled.

The rate applied to the subscription of the bike insurance takes into account the following criteria:

• The type of the insured bike The use of this criterion results from the statistical observation that the risk of material damage or theft is more enhanced for certain types of bikes.
• The insured value of the bike and accessories The use of this criterion is based on the fact that the amount of compensation in case of theft or material damage is related to the insured value of the bike.
• The geographical area based on the address of the policyholder's address. The use of this criterion results from the statistical observation that the risk of material damage or theft is more enhanced in certain geographical areas.
