Rad Power Bikes will use the financing to open new brick and mortar retail locations across the globe. It will also expand its mobile service and white glove delivery offerings.

Rad Power Bikes founder and CEO Mike Radenbaugh said: “I’ve been passionate about achieving a future where e-bikes are king and transportation is energy efficient, enjoyable and accessible for all since I was 15 years old.

“We found two groups of world-class consumer and retail investors who believe in our vision and will help us surprise and delight our customers in new and exciting ways.”

Following this investment, Vulcan Capital director Stuart Nagae will become a member of the Rad Power Bikes’ board of directors.

The latest funding comes almost a year after entrepreneurs and e-commerce retailer Zulily co-founders Darrell Cavens and Mark Vadon invested in the company.

Vadon will join Cavens on the board of directors for the company.
