Here you will find out everything you need to know about the Laka Theft Insurance and how you as a Urban Arrow Connected+ customer can take full advantage of it.
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 Urban Arrow partnership, Laka cover is embedded into your Urban Arrow Connected+ App.
Urban Arrow Connected+ customers will benefit from 12 months (from activation) of complimentary Theft Insurance. This means that you are covered for recovery, replacement, and necessary repair of your bike in the event your bike is stolen. Details on this can be seen here.
After buying your Urban Arrow Connected+ Bike at your preferred dealership, download and open the the Urban Arrow Connected+ App. Click “Activate Now” on the Laka Tile on your dashboard, and fill in your contact details. Once you agree to the terms & conditions the Laka Theft Insurance will automatically be added to your profile and be active at no extra cost for the first 12 months.
We’ll be in touch when your 12 months are coming to an end to remind you that you can continue to insure your bike with Laka. As an Urban Arrow Connected+ customer, you will benefit from favourable pricing with Laka, and we can help you choose one of our range of bike insurance products to suit your needs.
If you have a Urban Arrow Connected+ bike 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 downloading the Urban Arrow Connected+ App.
You can add as many Urban Arrow Connected+ bikes as you like via your Urban Arrow Connected+ App. This offer and setup is exclusive to Urban Arrow Connected+ bikes and you cannot add other types of bikes that aren’t Urban Arrow Connected+ bikes.
You will not be able to reactivate your 12 months of complimentary insurance or “pick up where I left off”. However, you can independently sign up for your own Laka insurance directly with our team.
