Insurers

Are you in charge of a bicycle, e-bike or pedelec claim?

For nearly 20 years we have supported insurers with profound and easy-to-understand expert’s reports to settle their claims. We measure and test damaged bicycles, find out old/previous damage, assess the amount of loss and the replacement value, rate plausibility, analyse material failure or determine the value as new of a current bicycle of the same type and quality in the case of a burglary-theft.
Our unique complete archives leave no question open, not even in the case of exotic bicycles.

Click media/publications to get an overview of all of our publications. Our lectures on conferences prove that we are always up to date with the latest developments in bicycle technology and on the bicycle market.
