Me and my girlfriend (living in Paal) are both the happy owners of a ST2 (she has a 17 inch)(from Verbinnen). We have a BA insurance from Ethias (Burgelijke Aansprakelijkheidsverzekering, vroeger familiale genoemd). On their website clearly the only condition is that you must paddle to activate the motor.
In april, in the assumption that I needed one, I informed by DVV for the price of an insurance of my ordered ST2 (I gave them all the specifications). They replyed that their BA insurance was OK for my ST2.
This makes sense while the speed is comparable with a racebike while the ST2 is much safer due to better tyres and brakes.
As for racebikes I suppose nobody rides a ST2 without gloves and a helmet, this would be like driving a car without a seat belt. The weight is higher, be aware of that, but no more than any other electric bike.
