The WAW was originally build by Frederik Van De Walle, for own use and for a couple of friends, as a fast road velomobile, also for stretches with frequent and short turns, practical enough to be enjoyed for daily use. The WAW today is still totally in line with this basic concept but had to be redeveloped completely to meet efficient production methods and higher quality standards, conditions in order to make the WAW a successful product in a broader and professional market.
