This year marks a special milestone for Velomobiel.nl, the Dutch company renowned for building some of the world’s most functional and sleek velomobiles. The 25th anniversary was celebrated in the best way possible: on wheels (mostly three), surrounded by a passionate community, and with a deeply personal touch.

In the middle of June, around 75 velomobile enthusiasts gathered in Dronten, the birthplace of Velomobiel.nl, for a celebratory tour. The group rode a scenic 40-kilometer route through the polder, winding through quiet roads and beautiful landscapes, before reaching the historic harbor of Elburg. The ride ended back in Dronten at the company’s headquarters, where the real celebration began.

But the event was about more than just cycling. It was about people. As the team from Velomobiel.nl wrote afterward:

“The celebration was mainly about meeting. We saw some of you the day before picking up new parts, others a month ago for velomobile service, others we met for the first time when buying a new Snoek, and many of you we have known for 20–25 years.

Without all of you, this success – 25 years of the company’s existence – would not have been possible. And we appreciate that, very much.”

And we wish Velomobiel.nl at least another 25 years of development and production of great velomobiles!
