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.

TRAINING

TOURS Y ROUTES

Our project includes training our drivers with general information of the city, especially in those areas

of particular interest, extracted from the official guide of Barcelona. In this way, the customer can

receive a complete service and enjoy during the ride detailed information about the area,

architectural details, construction times, general history of the city, etc. What is commonly offered

through digital guides or browsers in other tourist services, Funky Cycle offers in a direct and

personalized way, interacting with the client, solving problems or questions that may arise during the

ride, orienting the user and improving their knowledge about the city as they travel.

You will explore all corners of the city sitting comfortably in a fun and environmentally friendly mode

of transport. A unique opportunity to enjoy a pleasant tour while the driver explains all the secrets of

Barcelona.

ADVANTAGES:

You know what a rickshaw is? It is a type of traditional vehicle very popular in countries like China,

Japan or India. Surely you've seen it in numerous movies or if you've had the opportunity to travel to

Asia. It has now been modernized and extended to other countries, as it is a simple, fun and

environmentally friendly transportation alternative.

Can you imagine discovering the city in a rickshaw? Guided mostly by young multilingual students,

you will enjoy a comfortable and pleasant walk while your guide will show you the most emblematic

places of Barcelona of the XXI century. In this original and personalized way you will explore parks,

charming squares, boulevards, museums, and much more!

In addition Funky Cycle is an official agent of Barcelona Tourism, which allows us to have the complete

catalogue of tourist products in Barcelona for your perusal. We have more than 250 options to

combine with our Tours, being able to program a dynamic tour where our Rickshaw can move them

from one point to another of the city and along the way, you can enjoy visiting a museum, theater,

event, restaurant, etc.
