Frequently asked questions

How does the AZTECS30 code work?

AZTECS30 is our exclusive partner code with Laka. Enter it during sign-up on laka.co and you get the first 30 days of cover free. After that, you pay Laka's standard community-priced rate, which is normally between £5 and £15 a month depending on your bike and level of cover.

Is the code AZTECS30 only for Aztecs Bikes customers?

No. The code is open to anyone, but we recommend Laka because we've worked with them for years and trust how they handle claims. You don't need to have bought your bike from us to use the code.

Does Laka cover bikes bought second-hand?

Yes. This is one of the main reasons we recommend Laka over many UK competitors. Most insurers refuse second-hand bikes or require a recent receipt. Laka covers them as long as you can describe the bike and provide a reasonable valuation.

Does Laka cover Cycle to Work scheme bikes?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. The Cycle to Work scheme doesn't include insurance. If your bike is stolen, you continue paying the salary deductions for a bike you no longer have. Laka cover starts the day your bike arrives.

Do I need a Sold Secure Gold lock for cover?

Yes, for theft cover away from home, Laka requires the bike to be locked with a Sold Secure Gold rated lock. We stock approved locks at the shop in Bow or on our website if you need one.

How quickly can I get covered?

Sign-up takes about 5 minutes on laka.co. Cover starts immediately once you complete the form and the AZTECS30 discount is applied.

What if I have a problem with a claim?

Contact Laka directly through their app or website, they're responsive and the claims process is straightforward. If you've had an accident, our page on what to do after a cycling accident walks you through the steps.

Where is Aztecs Bikes based?

We're at 4 Corsican Square, London E3 3XS, in Bow, East London. We're an independent bike shop and an authorised Laka partner.

London is hard on bikes

London is hard on bikes

Bikes get stolen from locked sheds, knocked over by car doors and written off by potholes. Most home contents policies cover far less of that than riders assume, and claiming on them puts your household premium up.

Laka is built for cyclists. Cover follows the bike rather than the postcode, there is no excess, and accidental damage is included, which is what catches most people out.

We are a Laka partner, so our customers get the first 30 days free. Our link applies the code AZTECS30 automatically.

What Laka covers

One policy that follows your bike wherever you ride it, at home and abroad, on the commute and at the weekend.

  • Theft, crash and accidental damage

    Your bike is covered at home, out on a ride and locked up in London, including damage you cause yourself.

  • Roadside recovery

    Stranded with a mechanical you cannot fix? Recovery is included, so you are not walking home from the far side of Essex.

  • Worldwide travel cover

    Your bike stays covered when you take it abroad, so a training camp or a summer trip is not a gap in your policy.

  • Zero excess

    There is no excess to pay on a claim, and no claims discount to protect, which makes small claims worth actually making.

  • Bike rental while you wait

    If your bike is off the road after a covered incident, rental costs are included so your commute keeps working.

  • Legal and third party liability

    Legal assistance and third party liability cover are built in, so you are protected if a ride goes badly wrong.

Why riders choose it

No excess, no lock in, and a month of cover on us to see whether it suits you.

  • 30 days free With the code AZTECS30, exclusive to Aztecs Bikes customers
  • £0 excess Nothing to pay when you claim on a covered incident
  • Cancel anytime Monthly cover with no lock in and no exit penalty

How to claim your 30 days free

Three steps, and about two minutes. The offer is exclusive to Aztecs Bikes customers.

  1. Open our Laka link

    Use the button on this page. It carries the code AZTECS30 for you, so there is nothing to type in and nothing to remember.

  2. Build your quote

    Enter the details of your bike, its value and where you keep it. It takes a couple of minutes and the 30 days free are already applied.

  3. You are covered

    Cover starts immediately. Keep your policy details handy, and bring the bike to us if you ever need a repair assessment.

Insured with Laka? We handle the repair.

Insured with Laka? We handle the repair.

If something happens, bring the bike to the workshop. Our Cytech 2 mechanics assess the damage, photograph everything and give you an itemised costing that Laka can settle from directly.

That means no arguing about whether a hanger, a wheel or a set of bar tape counts. It is documented, priced and evidenced by the people who will actually do the work.

Been hit by a vehicle rather than had a mechanical? Our accident support page covers what to do next.

Included as standard

Always read your policy documents for the full terms, in particular the lock requirements for theft claims.

  • Theft from home, from work and while locked in public
  • Crash and accidental damage, including your own mistakes
  • Vandalism and malicious damage
  • Accessories, including lights, computers and power meters
  • Cycling clothing and helmets damaged in a covered incident
  • Roadside recovery when you cannot ride home
  • Bike rental while yours is being repaired
  • Racing and events, including sportives and time trials
  • Worldwide travel cover
  • Third party liability and legal assistance

Laka insurance questions

What the cover does, how the collective model works and how claims run through our workshop.

How do I claim my 30 days free?

Use the Laka button on this page. It carries the code AZTECS30, so the offer is applied automatically when you build your quote. Cover starts straight away. It is worth sorting before you collect a new bike.

How is Laka different from normal bike insurance?

Laka works on a collective model. Instead of paying a fixed premium up front, members share the cost of the month's claims, capped at a maximum you agree in advance. In a quiet month you pay less than the cap. You never pay more than it.

Does it cover e-bikes?

Yes. Electric bikes are covered, which matters in London where an e-bike is often worth more than the car it is parked next to. That includes every e-bike we sell.

Am I covered if my bike is stolen from outside the shop or a cafe?

Yes, provided it was locked to an immovable object with a lock that meets the requirements in your policy. Read the lock conditions carefully when you sign up, as that is the single most common reason a theft claim fails.

Is there an excess?

No. Laka policies have zero excess, so a £200 wheel claim is genuinely worth making rather than being swallowed by the excess. A hand built replacement wheel is exactly the sort of job worth claiming for.

Can Aztecs handle the repair on a Laka claim?

Yes. Bring the bike to our East London workshop and we will assess it, photograph the damage and provide a full itemised costing that Laka can work from directly. If a vehicle was involved, start with our cycling accident support.

Does it cover racing and sportives?

Yes. Competitive riding is included as standard, which is not true of most home contents extensions.

What about my home insurance? Am I not already covered?

Sometimes, but usually with a low single item limit, an excess, an away from home exclusion and no cover for racing or accidental damage. Claiming on home insurance can also push your premium up, whereas a dedicated cycling policy keeps the two separate. We weigh it up in our guide to whether bike insurance in London is worth it.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at any time, with no exit fee. Cover runs month to month.

Do you get anything if I sign up?

We are a Laka partner, and we recommend them because our own customers have had good outcomes when they claim. If a policy ever stopped being worth having, we would stop putting our name to it.
