Insurance Considerations by Model

Theft Risk

All Talaria models are high-theft targets due to:

• High resale value

• Desirable brand recognition

• Portable size

• Easy to sell parts

  Our recommendation: Comprehensive theft coverage is essential for any Talaria.

  Modification Coverage

Common upgrades that should be covered:

| Modification | Typical Cost | Common On | |-------------|--------------|-----------| | 72V Battery Upgrade | $800-1,500 | All models | | Controller Upgrade | $300-600 | Sting, Sting R | | Suspension Upgrade | $500-1,200 | Sting, MX4 | | Brake Upgrade | $200-500 | All models | | Display/Controller | $150-400 | All models |

Liability Needs

Higher performance = higher liability risk. We recommend:

• Sting/XXX: Minimum $100k liability

• Sting R/MX4: Consider $300k+ liability
