Is your motorcycle up to the journey?  

Check the condition of your bike – especially if it hasn’t been ridden for a long time. Don’t forget to read through our pre-trip checklist for a safe journey. 

Are you physically ready for the journey?  

Good vehicle control is mandatory for safe driving. If it’s been a while since your last trip, you may be out of practice. Put your reaction time and physical fitness to the test, for example, by taking a driver orientation and safety training course. It’s fun and you’ll also benefit from a discounted premium at Helvetia.  

Is your insurance cover up to date?

Third party liability insurance is the minimum legal protection. But have you considered enhanced insurance against dents and scratches, theft or gross negligence? It’s worth weighing up the options and choosing the right cover.

Hiring a motorcycle or hiring out your own vehicle

Are you eager to try out different bikes but only want to pay for your hobby when you have the time to enjoy it? A motorcycle rental platform, such as RIBE, could be the perfect solution for you. You can easily hire a motorcycle, or even rent yours out, online. When you hire a motorcycle, you only need to take out cover for your personal protection – third party liability and comprehensive insurance are included in the hire price. RIBE with insurance coverage from Helvetia. “In our RIBE community we have motorcyclists of all ages. Many of you – especially if you're aged between 50 and 60 – are busy people who unfortunately don’t have the time to make the most of your bikes. With RIBE, you can help cover the fixed costs of your bikes by hiring them out. You also have the opportunity to test out many amazing bikes at affordable prices – including unique models and bikes that are no longer in production,” says Tsering Selang, Co-Founder of RIBE.
