Blike offers London commuters a flexible monthly subscription on a range of e-bikes from contemporary brands, such as Vanmoof and Cowboy. Like other Cycle-to-Work schemes, employees save money on a purchase by paying through salary sacrifice, but unlike others, the package includes the extra convenience of bike maintenance, flexibility to cancel or change bikes at any time, and now also insurance-backed peace-of-mind arranged with Bikmo.
Bikmo’s focus on building simple yet comprehensive rider insurance continues with their tailored insurance for Blike, including theft, accidental damage and vandalism cover throughout the lease, both at the customer’s home, and when they are on the move.
For Blike, and other leasing and subscription models, flexibility and scalability are key. Bikmo’s Commercial Fleet solution makes it easy to put bikes on and off cover as they are leased and returned to base, and this comes with cost efficiencies over traditional commercial insurance options.
Bikmo CEO David George commented “We’ve seen a shift in the bike sector from ownership to leasing and subscriptions coming for years so it’s fantastic to be working alongside Blike as a leader in this space.
It’s the next step in our mission to protect the world’s riders so we’re delighted to be protecting Blike customers and hopefully inspiring a new generation of riders to choose bike over car.”
Tim Carrigan, Co-founder and CEO of Blike added “Working with Bikmo was the obvious choice from the outset as they share our vision of supporting as many riders as possible across the UK. By protecting our fleet, Bikmo ensures that our riders feel confident and means we can keep them on the road and riding for longer. Working with the team at Bikmo has been a pleasure as they tailored the product around our needs but also in a way that’s suitable for other fleet managers.”
