Insuring you're Chinese bike can be a problem if you don’t know where to look. This is because many of the Chinese manufacturers are not recognised by our insurance companies. This means that often people are put off buying some very well priced and attractive machines just because they cant find anyone to insure them. Luckily a few insurance companies have realised the size of this market is rapidly expanding and have become specialists in insuring Chinese bikes.
There are a few tips I can give you in finding your bike in insurance companies lists. Many importers give Chinese models European sounding names. This is to make the bikes more familiar to European customers and is a practice that has also been adopted by the manufacturers themselves. This means that a particular model of bike may be referred to by several different names. Ie pulse, Lightspeed, Ht125, Haotian 125 and so on, when looking for insurance use the bikes model name, that is the HT125T-25 number that can be found on the user Manual or certificate of conformity. This is what the insurance companies will reference to in their lists.
