iMotorbike partners with Allianz General

KUALA LUMPUR: iMotorbike, a regional website for buying and selling used motorcycles, recently teamed up with Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Bhd to offer more benefits to motorcyclists.

The partnership between iMotorbike and Allianz General brings extended warranties to consumers buying used motorcycles from iMotorbike, offering enhanced protection and safety for a worry-free riding experience.

With this collaboration, in addition to the complimentary six-month warranty included with their motorcycle purchase, customers can benefit from Allianz Partners Malaysia network of 83-panel repairers nationwide, that specialises in warranty-related fixes.

This supplements iMotorbike's 170-point inspection and six-day return policy.

"We are excited that this partnership with iMotorbike has mutual benefits for both parties, while we are also proud to expand our digital footprint in the country, especially with regards to the motor segment,” said Allianz General CEO Sean Wang.

The additional extended warranty covers motorcycle parts including the engine, engine control unit (ECU) and gearbox.

Customers can benefit from the dedicated helpline provided by Allianz Partner’s 83-panel repairers, enhancing support and convenience for greater peace of mind when purchasing pre-owned motorcycles.

“User safety and satisfaction have always been our top priorities here at iMotorbike. In line with this commitment, we have extended our standard free 6-month warranty to offer options of 12 to 24 months for those who wish to add more security to their purchase.

"This extended warranty reflects our dedication to offering motorcycles of the highest quality and ensuring that new owners are protected from any unexpected costs. With this new offering, we look forward to making a positive impact on the motorcycle community and further enhancing the overall ownership experience,” said iMotorbike founder and CEO Gil Carmo.

Founded in 2016, iMotorbike said it is a key player in Southeast Asia's two-wheeler market for buying and selling pre-owned motorcycles.

As of 2024, the platform said it operates eight inspection centres and has a presence in Malaysia and Vietnam.
