Starting July 1, users without personal accident insurance and third-party liability insurance won't be able to borrow YouBike 2.0 in Taipei. Taipei currently has over 20,000 YouBikes, and by the end of this year, 1,000 YouBike 2.0E electric-assisted bicycles will be added, leading to an increase in bicycle accidents. To address this, users must first obtain free public bicycle personal accident insurance through the Smiling Bike app or website before renting a YouBike 2.0E, with the goal of increasing safety among bike riders in the city. The article also outlines the benefits and coverage of the public bicycle personal accident insurance and third-party liability insurance offered since 2018 by Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Taoyuan City, aiming to safeguard users in case of accidents or injuries while riding YouBike.
