Trike Insurance

What you need to know about Trikes 

Prefer three wheels to two? Well a trike can offer you the extra safety and stability you need as a rider without opting for four wheels. Trikes are classed as a three-wheeler with open chassis and handlebars, unlike the popular Reliant Robin which is deemed as a three-wheeler car due to the closed chassis and steering wheel.

If you’re one for standing out in the crowd, then you’ll certainly have all eyes on you and your trike. It’s not compulsory by law to wear a helmet when riding your trike but it’s highly recommended that you do for your own personal safety. The view is similar for the installation and use of seat belts too.

Can I get a quote with Devitt?

So does a trike qualify for motorbike or car insurance? Here at Devitt, we see trike riders in the same eyes as motorcyclists. We’ve been arranging insurance for UK motorcyclist for over 80 years now so we know a thing or two.

What you need to get a quote?

In order to ride a trike by law you are required to have a full car license, however as we are motorcycle insurance specialist, we do require you to also have a full motorcycle license. This is due to the systems which we use.

You’ll need a few details about yourself and your trike to help get the best price for you, including full address, occupation and driving history. Not forgetting information about your trike including engine size, make and model.

You will also need some other information to hand for us to be able to provide a quote:

• Any modification details including how many seats it has.
• If you have No Claim Discount, where has it come from? Was it from a car or a bike?

Unfortunately we do not cover any bike conversions, only purpose-built trikes.
