Modified Fatbikes Leave Riders Bare

Over the past two years, more than 225,000 euros has been paid out by the Motor Vehicle Guarantee Fund to victims of fatbike accidents—specifically those involving heavily modified, high-speed models that can’t even be insured. These bikes, easily tweaked to hit 50 kph with DIY tutorials online, leave riders and their families financially exposed when accidents happen. With no insurance to cover damages, victims rely on the fund for upfront compensation while the system hunts down the at-fault parties—or their parents. It’s a dangerous loophole on our roads, turning thrill-seeking mods into liability bombs. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
