This offer is exclusive to E-bikes. You cannot cover regular bikes, road or racing bikes, or E-cargo bikes using this offer.
EXCLUSIONS: Fat-bikes, or any electrically assisted pedal bikes with tires over 3.0"/7.6cm in stated diameter, cannot be insured through Laka in partnership with Fris.
Started in 2017, Laka set out to transform bicycle insurance by connecting passionate cyclists all over Europe to form a community and protect their bikes. A better model for insurance was born through their revolutionary method and their 5-star rated customer service. Now with the Fris partnership, Laka cover is embedded into your Fris subscription.
Your insurance will start as soon as you sign up for a Fris Smart Tracker for E-bikes and Bicycles that includes insurance, and you will be covered until the expiry date of your subscription.
If you renew your subscription with Fris, your insurance will automatically activate for the same length as your Fris subscription. If you do not renew, your insurance will come to an end. You can get in touch with Laka to organise cover for your E-bike directly with us if you decide to not renew your Fris Smart Tracker subscription.
If you have a E-bike with a Fris smart tracker that you would like to insure with Laka but happen to be under 18 years old, we do require an over-18-year-old guardian or parent to activate the insurance on your behalf. To do so, please have them fill out their contact details when activating your subscription.
You can add as many E-bikes via Fris as you like. If you add a second Smart Tracker to an additional E-bike, and you activate insurance, the second E-bike will be added to your Laka account. This offer and setup is exclusive to Fris Smart Tracker customers and you cannot add other types of E-bikes that aren’t part of a Fris subscription to this policy.
You are contracted with Fris for the subscription package, and this also applies to your cover with Laka. If you have reasons to cancel your subscription, please contact the Fris customer service teams. In the case of a cancellation, Fris will instruct us to cancel your cover on your behalf.
When you activate a new policy with us, we will send you a welcome email. Included in that email is a claim link - you can use this to claim whenever you need to. You can also contact our team if you are unsure what to do, or you can’t find the link.

We’re a friendly bunch that likes to help where we can, and loves to chat about e-bikes at every opportunity.
When you make a claim, we ask you to record a video statement. It’s easiest to do this from your phone, you can upload the video directly into your claim. Don’t worry if you aren't looking your best, or if it isn't your day, we are mainly interested in what you say! Make sure that we can clearly hear you and that we can see your face.
To make the claims process quicker, please make sure to include as much of the following as possible:
Who you are and where you live
When and where the incident happened
How the incident happened
As a reminder, you’ll need to provide the following when submitting a claim:
A police report number
Photographic evidence you collected of the theft incident (if you were able to)
Evidence of your repair estimates from your e-bike shop in the case of damage
Proof of a Laka approved lock if the e-bike was stolen from a public location (see your insurance certificate for the full list of approved locks)
