Why do bike businesses need insurance?

Bike, ebike and micromobility businesses have been booming in recent years, with many new shops and brands getting started in the last decade. As a new category with relatively fewer years of experience, there are many risks that bike shops need to protect themselves from, including theft and damage of some very expensive equipment and the possibility of injury and liability.

What coverage do bike businesses need?

General Liability

General Liability (GL) protects your business from legal claims and liability that arise from your operations. Bike shops in particular carry many inherent liability risks, so GL is always recommended.
