INTRODUCTION
THE COMPANY
Our project was born in the city of Barcelona, offering a sustainable alternative of urban mobility to
tourists and locals in short and medium range routes as you will see through this document. The
service that we proposed has already been realized in several modern cities such as London,
Amsterdam, New York, Berlin and Paris. Our project is to expand the company into several key cities of
the Iberian peninsula like Valencia, Palma de Mallorca and Malaga, among others.
The following is a history of Funky Cycle S.L. In Barcelona, to offer you a little insight into our company,
its services and corporate reach.
FUNKY CYCLE S.L. is one of the first companies authorized by the local government of Barcelona to
conduct tours in Warszat tricycles in the city of Barcelona and has operated since 2007.
We belong to and collaborates with a group of companies that offer the same service in different cities
like London, Berlin, Amsterdam and New York, where they have been practicing this activity for many
years. This close communication allows the transit of inter European students who want to know and /
or improve their training by expanding their knowledge with stays in the different cities mentioned.
OUR SERVICE
FLEET
This medium of transport is easy access and is an attractive option to a wide range of different users
and has no negative impact on the environment. It has wide acceptance among the general public, of
all ages and backgrounds, for short or medium-range trips in their leisure time for entertainment. We
operate in the most active areas of the city where it is not always possible to access conventional
vehicles due to the restrictions currently established in the large urban centers of the cities.
Most of these routes include areas of public interest, historical and architectural, large spaces such as
parks, squares, promenades, ramblas, routes
through different museums, etc. According to the
destination, a suitable route is discussed,
mentioning potential areas of interest, coexisting
with the specific routes of use exclusively for
bicycles, all without affecting the free circulation of
traffic on conventional roads.
It also generates a new type of sustainable
employment very accessible for a very important
social sector, that of the young people, favouring
their social and labour integration.
Our service is being welcomed by several European
administrations as a clear example of the creation of
a company and a totally sustainable work, thanks to
Our fleet consists of vehicles approved for 2 passengers and a Driver, with a high manufacturing
standard, Shimano 15-speed gearbox, 17-inch wheels, disc brakes that generate optimum quality in
safety and reliability. It allows the user to enjoy a pleasant ride, thanks to the unique characteristics of
the vehicle.

its unique characteristics and its non-existent environmental impact.
DRIVERS
Piloted mostly by young students from different backgrounds in the EU. Our service offers an
alternative form of income to this social sector, combining time flexibility, quality of work for the
environment in which it is developed and optimum physical training in the exercise of the activity.
An added attraction of this activity is the smooth communication with the user in various languages
(drivers speak a minimum of 2 or 3 languages) that they must constantly practice in their travels
interacting with the clients, providing the user with information on the areas of tourist interest, the
most emblematic establishments, as well as the cultural agenda of the city that may be of interest to
the tourist: location, transfers to the door in cases where there is an established route available,
details of exclusive offers and promotions for our clients, agenda and / or programs of events in the
cases of Clubs, Discotheques, Theaters, conferences, conventions, festivals, congresses, fairs, etc.
All this is managed in a personalized and direct way, so that our DRIVER becomes a point of
information during the event or service, in order to provide a useful and informed response to the
needs of each person.
