Recently, a friend who is a keen cyclist accidentally knocked down a high-end bicycle made of carbon fiber material on the side of the road when parking, but faced a claim for sky-high damages. It is reported that the rider asked the dealer for help and paid a damage assessment fee of 4,000 yuan in accordance with the regulations. However, the dealer put forward an opinion of claiming 38,000 yuan, saying that the carbon fiber material is special and can only be replaced, not repaired.

Dear riders, have you ever encountered such a problem? When you accidentally knock down a bicycle on the side of the road, you are faced with a huge claim for damage assessment. Recently, the experience of a rider caught my attention, he inadvertently knocked down a high-end bicycle made of carbon fiber material, and was asked to pay 38,000 yuan for damage assessment!
Here's how it happened: our rider Xiao Ming (pseudonym) was riding when he came across a very eye-catching carbon fiber bicycle parked on the side of the road. Curious about the technology, Xiao Ming stopped to take a closer look and took a test ride. However, just as he was about to leave, he accidentally knocked over his bike. Although the collision was not serious, there were some subtle cracks in the carbon fiber bike.
Xiao Ming thought that he only needed to pay a small repair fee to solve the problem, but he didn't expect the dealer to put forward a request for sky-high damage assessment. According to the dealer's explanation, once the bicycle made of carbon fiber material is damaged, it cannot be repaired, and can only be replaced, and this cost needs to be borne by Xiao Ming. And these costs are as high as 38,000 yuan! After this news came out, it immediately triggered extensive discussions and questions among riders.
For this sky-high price assessment, we found the relevant person in charge of the dealer for an interview. According to him, the application of carbon fiber materials in bicycle manufacturing does have particularities, once the damage cannot be repaired, only the entire component can be replaced. This is also the main reason for the high cost of loss assessment. Despite this, we still do not fully understand the reasonableness of this sky-high price assessment.
After this incident was exposed, many riders expressed concern. They are worried about whether they will face similar claims in the future when they encounter similar sky-high loss assessments. For high-end bicycles made of carbon fiber materials, they are expensive and of excellent quality, but the maintenance cost is also high, which also brings some trouble to riders.
Overall, this sky-high loss assessment incident is a wake-up call for us. As riders, we need to pay more attention to insurance matters, improve our safety awareness, and try to avoid damaging high-value vehicles. At the same time, it also calls on manufacturers and distributors to be more reasonable and transparent in material selection and damage assessment. Only in this way can we better enjoy the pleasure of riding and avoid unnecessary controversies and troubles.
The incident struck a chord with riders, many of whom expressed great concern that they also own high-end bicycles made of carbon fiber. We believe that dealers and riders alike will be able to find a more reasonable and fair solution to this problem.
