About me

As I said before, I’m Jan Wijnen founder of Velomobile World, located in Breaza near Reghin, Romania. I founded this company in 2012 and now we work with over 40 people to build these amazing machines every day. My passion for velomobiles started a long time ago when I was about 14 years old. At that time I was living in the Netherlands, in the place called Dronten, where there were most velomobiles at that time. I built my first velomobile when I was 15 years old and I still really enjoy doing it. My first velomobile was an aluminum Alleweder, after which I bought a Quest from Velomobiel.nl
From 2003 to 2006, I worked as a volunteer in Romania. Because of this, I came into contact with the opportunities that Romania has to offer. In 2012 I combined my two passions in Breaza, in beautiful Romania: velomobiles and entrepreneurship.

Bülk MK1 Velomobile

After Eggert Bülk and Jens Buckbesch started the Milan project in 2005 (which is still running successfully today), they started a new velomobile project in 2021, the Bülk-MK1. It implements a new space utilization and aerodynamic concept. The findings from various wind tunnel tests were also taken into account. Jens documented every step of the Bülk-MK1 project, then he sent us very detailed info to create a PAGE where you can discover the philosophy of the Bülk-MK1.

What is a velomobile

A velomobile is a human-powered vehicle related to the bicycle, for everyday use, with a body/shell that provides comfort, weather protection and luggage space. Due to the aerodynamically shaped bodywork, you can achieve a decent speed with little effort (30-50 km/h on flat road). Velomobiles are very suitable as commuter vehicles, for shopping or holidays, also are a good way to clear your mind while taking a tour or a road trip with your friends.
