InsideOutdoor | SUMMER 2022 36 BikeInsure, an Insurtech company specializing in bicycle coverage for cyclists in the United States, recently announced that any bicycle owner across America now has access to its standardized bike insurance. BikeInsure said it has innovated a process that allows a cyclist to obtain bike coverage with optional theft protection in a matter of minutes from on their smartphones at BikeInsure.com. Underwritten by Great American Insurance Company, BikeInsure reimburses policy holders for repairs to their insured bicycle and listed accessories due to accidents when riding. Coverage continues during transit of the scheduled bike and extends to a stolen bike when optional theft protection is selected. Policies start at $17 a month. “While cycling is safe, accidents do happen, but I never thought it would happen to me,” said Buzzy Cohn, CEO of BikeInsure. “My bike accident resulted in a destroyed road bike. I couldn’t imagine how an accident could cost so much money and possibly prevent me from continuing the simple joy of riding my bicycle. Unfortunately, my homeowner’s insurance had a large deductible, exposed my policy to cancellation, and there was the realization that a claim could cause my premium to jump significantly. I researched bike insurance but realized a standalone product with real value and reasonably priced coverage was unavailable.” BikeInsure partnership opportunities are available for bike manufacturers, bike shops, cycling events and other bike distribution channel companies. GoSun, a creator of solar appliances, earlier this summer announced its joint venture with AWOL Outdoors to create and introduce the GoSun Camp365, a solar-powered, self-contained and lightweight travel trailer. Weighing in at 1,800 pounds, the Camp365 can be towed by nearly any vehicle, including electric cars, and due to its extremely small footprint when folded down, can be parked in any normal parking space or garage, said GoSun. One person can unfold the RV into a roomy, off-grid cabin in less than 10 minutes. It expands to a 100 square foot, 700 cubic foot cabin that is 7 feet, 6 inches tall. With living areas indoors and out, it’s complete with all the independent systems one would want in an RV. Highlights of this off-the-grid RV include an energy efficient Chill refrigerator cooler with a 12V DC compressor and 40 liters of space; a GoSun Fusion electric stove; the GoSun Flow water purifications system that can purify water from any source with the push of a button, plus store more than 24 gallons; two metal frame/inflatable single beds that can be joined together to become a queen-sized bed; and a portable 12-volt heated blanket. When connected on-grid, a ceramic heater will be included as well as an air conditioning unit. The GoSun Camp365 comes with multiple portable power banks as well as the larger Power 1100, which can power 12-volt and 110-volt appliances, eliminating the need for a gas generator or campground hookups to support off-grid adventures. The unit is packed with 300+ watts of versatile solar power, which includes a portable utility Solar Table. Early Bird Direct Pricing starts at $32,500.
