With the UK’s economy struggling the way it is at the moment, more and more car drivers are saying that they would switch to a motorbike for their daily commute. Up to 4.8 million UK drivers would be willing to make the switch in order to save on transport costs, a study by Post Office Insurance concluded.
The majority quoted the cost benefits as the reason for a potential switch, and figures really don’t lie. Fuel consumption on a moped or lightweight motorcycle is half that of most cars, road tax starts at just £15, parking is free in most places in the UK and motorbike insurance premiums are usually lower too.
A shift to two wheels is already being seen on the roads, with moped sales increasing while the majority of the motor industry continues to slide.
To meet this increased demand, UK bike insurance companies such as Post Office motorbike insurance are offering increasingly better deals for moped and 125cc bike insurance.
