## About

Based in London, UK, and founded in 2020 by Ean Brown, Uri Meirovich, and Dr. Alastair Darwood, Blue Sky IP Ltd, d.b.a. Skarper develops an innovative drive system technology called DiskDrive® that transforms any disc brake bike into a high-performance eBike. In April 2023, Skarper raised EUR 4 million in venture funding co-led by Starry Group and Mobilitech Capital. The company utilizes DiskDrive, a drive system technology that includes a clip-on drive unit and a full gearbox that fits into the space of a rear disk brake, enabling cyclists to add electric power to their bikes whenever desired. Skarper's drive unit has been integrated with lithium cells and a brushless motor, providing smooth power delivery to tackle any urban terrain. The company plans to use its proceeds from April 2023 funding to set up mass production capability, the manufacturing units and to grow its commercial team. In September 2024, Skarper raised GBP 4.5 million in venture funding led by Adjuvo, with participation from Mobilitech Capital and Starry Group.
