It will cost €829 euros and will go on sale nationally on May 13th at the end of Barcelona's Big Biking Week.

A batch of 3,000 units - in black, grey or white and in four different sizes - will be manufactured initially for the domestic market though the company is also planning to open up a number of other markets in Europe and South America.
