Our main activity is the production of the WAW velomobile. We build and sell all WAW`s since January 2012 and supply it with the help of local distributors or directly if no active distributor is present.

We work in partnership with a limited number of other velomobile and bicycle producers and participate in production, assembly and R&D of their bikes. Examples are the Armadillo of Velove and the Pony4 bikes. More recently Katanga partnered up with QuadVelo, assembling part of the bikes and taking a lead in R&D.

Katanga works also in partnership with a network of specialized production companies. This allows to reach much higher quality standards than if all parts would be produced in-house.

Our R&D efforts are directed towards a continuous improvement of our products and towards the creation of innovating, special cycles which enlarge our offer.

Founded in 2011, Katanga has first been intermediating in the production of parts for some special bicycle brands. This activity has steadily grown and cumulated with the frame build and assembly of the Swedish 4-wheel cargo cycle Armadillo of Velove.

Plans to create and build a complete new velomobile were postponed at the end of 2011, when the rights of the WAW were purchased from the Belgian company Fietser.be. Since then production of the WAW moved to Czech Republic, the product was redesigned and the production capacity increased. Today the WAW is with a total cumulated production of 700 pieces, a mature and very popular velomobile sold all over the world.

End of 2019 the Czech company PonyFour s.r.o. was created with the goal to produce and commercialize the PONY4, a fully suspended, comfortable and lightweight 4-wheel bicycle. This cycle has a big potential and Katanga is actively developing a lot of accessories for it: a fairing, a solar roof, semi-trailers variants with a Camper and cargo application.

Since 2023 the assembly of the QuadVelo`s was partly transferred to Katanga, followed by tasks in R&D and sourcing of components. The partnership with QuadVelo is very complementary and extends today to cross-participations between the companies.

In 2024 Alligt, Passion-Velomobile and Katanga decided to join efforts to reintroduce the Alleweder4 into the market. The main role of Katanga is to optimize production and sourcing of components, pack and ship the building kits.

Starting from a one-man company working from home, Katanga is today animated by a team of 7 professionals. In our work shop in Brno-Líšeň we focus on QuadVelo, PONY4 and R&D activities. In our second work shop on the CampVelo site in Vratěnin we located the WAW, VELION and Alleweder4 business.
