I actually have all 4 of my bikes insured separately. The E-bike is worth over £2,000 is insured by a specific company Bikmo, the hybrid bike as you say I had to declare on my flats contents insurance as it's over £800, the e-mountain bike which was retro fitted is living at my parents house so has been declared & included on their contents policy as an individual item worth £1,500, my old road bike which lives upstairs in my flat on the indoor trainer is covered on my contents as it's only worth about £330 to replace. It's a nightmare when your bike is stolen, even when you use gold standard locks as specified by the insurance company
