WalMart sells an Omafiets? Hollandia Dutch Bike Update

Here I am a hungarian. We have the Csepel bike manufacturer for more than 90 years, almost 100. It was our first bike manufacturer, and it makes these kind of bikes. Though we call it not dutch bikes but city bikes, or also omafiets in our languages. Nowadays we have more manufacturers, for example not just the Csepel, but the Neuzer and more too. We use it since then, my grandparents, greatparents had this, and also me and my mom has. It is great for transportation, in our tiny cities, for not so much km-s, but also for short trips. We have ones with or without gears, the last one is just 200 USD, the first one obviously is more. We are trying to make bikefriendly cities, and even some of the cities are connected by bikepaths. Of course we have mountainbikes, bot mostly for more sporty activities, or in our main city, Budapest, where you need speed to go further. In the villages, most of the people also use bikes, cause the elders don't have got driving license, and the villages are so small, so why would you even drive a car just for to go to a shop? But we use bikes to go work, or school or even to meet with each other, to go to the caffee etc. We have famous bikepathes too, for example around the Lake Balaton, around the Lake Tisza, or the Dunakanyar (Danube curve) cycle paths, which leads you throughout forests, next to the river you can swim in or next to the fields, separated and far away from the car roads. If you come here in the future, try these cycle paths. There is a very old Csepel advertisment from 1948: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AflRBvSAXr4&ab_channel=Quadraxis

5:06 I'm a bike mechanic in Amsterdam, and the one piece stem and handle bars is very common here on typical omafietsen. Lekker fiets!

As a Dutch bike mechanic I remember the first time I saw this bike in the shop and I wondered where it came from. It looks Dutch but different,the frame is shorter rims different and the angles of the frame resulting in a stiffer but more understeary combination. Nice to see them again.

Yup, there are omafietsen over here in the NL with a fixed angle of the handlebars. The chain guard with a wire that kind of zips together the bottom is very common for guards with cloth. Although plastic guards more common by now I think.

Inexpensive panniers from ALDI or LIDL (when they are available) work really well, as does an inexpensive dynamo light kit from aliexpress (if you upgrade the wiring, don't use what is supplied!). Great bikes, I'm going to add a front wheel pedal assist e-bike kit to mine, to help when taking off, in a headwind, and when loaded. Enjoy!

Walmart seems to be sold out of anything by Hollandia that is bike related, so your video must have caused a run on their stock. Lots of other bikes out there sharing similar features, but it would be nice to have a new and nearly genuine steel omafeits with all the fixin's, like skirt guard and chain case, without spending over $500. It is my hope to one day own one, as I need a city commuter bike living in downtown Minneapolis. I want a reliable bike to abuse and take for granted.

Hollandia was an actual bike company, just, I think they stopped producing somewhere in the 1980's. And 'Hollandia' can be any company.n

It only misses a wheel lock and rear light.

What size are the tires? 622 or 635? Most of the omafietsen here in amsterdam are 635 wheel diameter. (For example: 635/40)

You never really said what this thing actually weighs, or compared to what the direct counterpart of a Dutch bike weighs. I was guessing before but I didn't know then.

There are more citys in The Neterlands then Amsterdam...

You need to get a real Omafiets from Gazelle or Batavus!

Low end in the Netherlands, that would be cheaper than what they are sold in the usa. About 300 euro, but with shipping i think that 400 is normal. That bike is dold in different colors and in steel or aluminium in the Netherlands. The white part on the back was by law. The bike isn't completely according the old Dutch rules, but it is a cheap copy. A real Dutch omafiets is different, but they cell those also in the Netherlands. I would only never buy that. The quality is far behind of a real Dutch bike. There are many different omafietsen, but moost are cheap crap. There is also a heavy duty bike. It ism't a Womens bike, but it is in the same simple styl but stronger so you can cary way more weight.
