“We are currently crowdfunding on the Seedrs.com platform to enable the opening of two more electric and folding bike stores and grow our online business and we are currently at 74 per cent of our target.
“The acquisition of Always Riding comes at a perfect time and will supercharge our global online ambitions as we continue to grow the Velorution brand.”
