Traditional bike insurance
vs
Backpedal

A bike is stolen every 2 minutes in the UK. Fewer than 2% of thieves are ever caught. Traditional insurers don't care — they just price it into your premium. The thief profits. You start again. Nothing changes.

BackPedal is different. We track your bike, recover it, and return it to you — so the thief gets nothing. Insurance is our backup, not our business model.

FAQs

Does BackPedal cover my bike if it wasn't locked?

Yes. Our recovery service has no exclusions. It doesn't matter if your bike was locked, what lock you used, or where it was parked. If it gets stolen, we go to recover it.

What happens if my bike can't be recovered?

Our backup insurance by Sundays provides financial cover for a replacement bike. Standard insurance terms apply and claims are subject to approval, just like any other bike insurance policy.

How much does BackPedal cost?

Annual protection starts from £153, which works out to £12.75 per month. This includes the GPS tracking kit, professional installation, 24/7 recovery service, and backup theft insurance.

What's the excess?

There's no excess on recovery claims — we get your bike back at no extra cost. If you need to make an insurance claim, the standard excess is £50. Battery-only claims have a £200 excess.

How long does recovery take?

On average, less than 2 days. Our current recovery success rate is above 80%.

Do I need separate bike insurance if I have BackPedal?

No. BackPedal includes backup theft insurance underwritten by Sundays, so you're covered for both recovery and financial protection in a single subscription.

Does BackPedal work for regular bikes or just ebikes?

Our tracking and recovery service works for both bikes and ebikes.

How is the GPS tracker installed?

Our mechanics install the tracker covertly at a time and place you choose. The tracker is hidden so a thief won't know it's there.
