Laka Insurance is a collective insurance provider. The company is disrupting the cycling and e-mobility industry. It aims to become a segment leader in the aforementioned industry that is forecast to reach £100 billion by 2025. Laka argues that the traditional insurance model is based on insurers taking a customer's money and profiting from not paying out claims. It aims to change this. Members on Laka share the cost of all claims, and the company earns its share when settling claims for the member. Laka has insured over 10,000 bikes till date. The company launched its new product, Laka Club, in 2020 that offers third-party liability insurance. Laka has won the Best Cycle Insurance Provider at the Insurance Choice Awards multiple times.
