    History[edit]
    Kronan began when John Wahlbäck sold surplus Swedish military m/42 bikes, to supplement
    his income as a student. They decided to manufacture a copy of this after selling all their
    original stock. Kronan bought the original drawings from the Swedish Ministry of
    Defense and commissioned a Taiwanese manufacturer to build bicycles to these
    specifications.
    The current Kronan Bicycle has been modernized slightly, but has the same basic design as
    the original. It is assembled in Poland using parts from Asia. The original Kronan factory was
    in Malmö.
    Until about 2000 Kronan bikes were only available in a limited number of colors, with a single
    gear and coaster brakes. New models have been added with 3-speed SRAM hub gears and
    drum brakes.
    Other variants include a child's bike (Kiddo), a traditionally-styled bike (Kranny) and a tricycle
    (Kargo). All these bikes have a bottle dynamo front light (the rear is operated by a battery)
    andpanniers as standard.
