      Even when I had a 10 year old Peugeot it was about £200.

      You routinely hear of people paying 2k+ these days… I’d seriously think about selling the car at that point.

      The average cost of insurance is £478 (or maybe was, not sure how old that statistic is). £69 is an ebike, not a car…

        They could have the insurance on yearly credit, and pay monthly, maybe.

        Nope. £69 was for a yearly policy. Initial renewal quote was £130 and I phoned up with a cheaper rival quote so they came down.
