Adjuvo led the latest round, which takes the company total to £12.8m and prepares the firm for its first product deliveries.

"Skarper is set to establish itself as a major player and novel part of the fast growing e-bike market with a unique device that could revolutionise the sector. Cycling is a $100 billion industry and is only forecast to grow as new assistance technology is developed to enable more people to use it both as a form of transport and recreation. Everything we have seen suggests Skarper will therefore generate enormous customer demand globally."

The interest from industry leaders, including bike component manufacturers and household brands, has exceeded our expectations. Our revolutionary technology lowers barriers to owning high-quality eBikes and reduces waste."
