Company History
Praga is an industrial polymath—cars, trucks, aircraft components—and at times, motorcycles. Its two-wheelers reflected the nation’s engineering culture: robust frames, sensible engines, and practical finishes for mixed road conditions. While not as globally prolific as Jawa/ČZ, Praga bikes served reliably at home and in neighboring markets. The brand’s modern renaissance focuses on cars and competition machinery, but its motorcycle chapter illustrates Czechoslovakia’s breadth of mechanical competence. Historically, Praga helps complete the picture of Central European mobility: capable, unfussy machines born from factories that could make almost anything and chose to make what people needed.
