Let’s hope they remember (other than their colleagues at VW) that a major core premise of the classic cars they are now trying to revive, was not only their distinct design, but also their affordability…
Hope that price tag sticks and is more than a marketing price for a hypothetical base model lacking things like a radio, without having to also order something like the “advanced comfort package” for an additional 5000€, or something like that.
An original 1948 base model at launch was about 9,000 in 2026 money. Considering how bare bones the original is compared to modern minimum requirements, I’d say 15K is pretty good!

Best I can do is grossly overpriced luxury item.
They are aiming for sub 15K. Quite affordable!

I guess that’s what passes for affordable nowadays

Yeah, but even a cheap’ish electric bike is 1/10th of that price now.
Competition bicycles can cost that much and those require you to use your legs and contain much less material
I’ll believe it when I see it.
And simplicity
