The Ballymore Group has teamed  up with  an Irish electric bike maker .

Modmo  has secured a €5 million investment from property developer Sean Mulryan.

The financing brings to €8.7 million the total raised by the company over the past year.

Speaking to The Irish Times, Modmo founder Jack O’Sullivan said the partnership with Mr. Mulryan could develop further with the Ballymore Group considering providing the start-up’s ebikes for use at its various developments.

The developer also has around 80,000 bike parking spaces planned across its developments with the potential that some of these would be reserved for Modmo’s “Saigon” ebikes.
