BIKESURE TO INSURE NEW SPYDER
01 July 2008 - Bikesure

From around £190 for a 30 year old male

The new Can-Am Spyder trike is stunning to look at and fun to drive. Its two front wheels and ''Y'' architecture reflect its snow mobile pedigree and it''s hyped as a totally new driving experience, combining the exhilaration of a motorbike with the peace of mind of a sports car. The safety angle is underlined by features like anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control systems. But despite the emphasis on safety there''s no getting away from the fact that the Spyder is an off-the-wall vehicle - and it''s not going to be easy to insure.

Now trike insurance specialist Bikesure has confirmed that it will be covering the new Spyder. ''We insure all sorts of trikes, including high value, high performance models, so the Spyder won''t be a problem,'' confirms Robert Balls of Bikesure.

''The extra safety features may not appeal to hardcore riders but they certainly helped us in evaluating the Spyder as an insurance risk. And to be fair, our guys who went to the UK launch say it''s a real blast to ride,'' he adds.

The Spyder''s 990cc V Twin engine develops 106bhp at 8,500rpm, has a claimed top speed of 120mph, with a 0-60 of 4.5 seconds, and costs around £12,000. Bikesure says insuring the trike will cost from around £190 for a 30 year old male with a clean licence and maximum no claims.

''Considering the type of vehicle it is, the Spyder''s price doesn''t seem unreasonable,'' says Robert Balls. ''Our policy means the cost to insure it will be very competitive.''
