E-bike flat battery? Don't worry, we'll rescue you

It's an unfortunate fact of life; bicycles can break down. Even the shortest journey comes to an abrupt halt if you can't fix a flat tyre, broken chain or buckled wheel at the roadside. It's why 30 years ago we launched Cycle Rescue - the first breakdown cover policy for bicycles.

ETA Cycle Rescue covers e-bikes, too. If you ride a road-legal electric bicycle, we’ll cover it against mechanical faults, punctures or a flat battery.

How much does bicycle breakdown cost?

Cycle Rescue costs only £24 per year with no hidden extras to pay if your bicycle suffers a breakdown.

How does bicycle breakdown cover work?

If you suffer a breakdown (including punctures) while out cycling, or are unable to continue due to an injury, our 24-hour Cycle Rescue team is on hand to arrange transport for you and your bicycle to a safe location.

I'm new to cycling - do I need breakdown cover for my bicycle?

Breakdown cover for bicycles is as useful for experienced riders as it is for novices. After all, who knows when a breakdown is around the corner?
