Laka and PentaLock partner to make carrying bike locks a thing of the past

      • Laka and PentaLock have announced a partnership to protect bikes from theft

      • PentaLock’s smart bike lock system is integrated into the bicycle’s crank, making it almost impossible for thieves to remove without irreparably damaging the bike

      • Laka and PentaLock aim to provide a comprehensive solution for bike owners looking to protect their investment and enjoy peace of mind


Laka, the award-winning micromobility insurtech that offers a unique collective insurance model in the UK, Netherlands, France, Belgium and Germany, is pleased to announce a partnership with PentaLock, the innovative bicycle lock manufacturer from Denmark.

PentaLock’s smart bike lock alarm system is integrated into the bicycle’s crank, making it almost impossible for thieves to remove without damaging the bike. Alongside its integrated uncuttable lock design, the PentaLock features a bike alarm system and an automatic lock for convenience and safety. This concept has been inspired by the automobile industry, which has seen significant innovation and a downward trend in theft since the introduction of integrated immobilizers. 

In the bicycle industry, there has been a dramatic rise in the value of stolen bikes with no corresponding developments in regard to the locks that secure them.

“We are really pleased with this innovative partnership and to collaborate with PentaLock to stop thieves in their tracks,” said Tobias Taupitz, CEO of Laka. “As a disrupter in our own right we are continually looking for partners changing the way we cycle.”  

Emil Norup, the founder of Pentalock, said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Laka. By combining Laka’s innovative insurance model with PentaLock’s preventive measures, we are truly giving back to bike brands and cyclists who choose PentaLock to protect their investment.”

With this partnership, Laka and Pentalock hope to offer a complete solution to brands and manufacturers that will allow them to offer more secure bikes to consumers looking to protect their investment and enjoy peace of mind.
