Motorbike insurance specialist MCE is to offer reduced insurance rates to policyholders who purchase one of a range of security devices it can supply.
MCE's Security Made Easy initiative aims to draw on the company's in-depth knowledge and experience of bike security issues to counter the growing threat of bike theft and reward owners' commitment to risk prevention through lower insurance costs.
Credit card-sized immobilisers and global positioning system (GPS) trackers are being offered to reduce the chances of a bike ending up on the back of a lorry. But according to MCE, all bike-owners can dramatically reduce their overall cost of ownership by adopting the right crime prevention strategy and using a cost-effective security product.
MCE director Michael Edwards said: "There's an old saying: just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you! No matter how careful you are with your bike, whether it's a scooter or a top of the range performance machine, there's a good chance someone will be eyeing it up with unlawful intent."
