Celebrating Folding Bike Culture: TAKACHIA®, The Lipatist, and Khass Bicycle Join Forces in Johor Bahru

TAKACHIA is proud to kick off a new chapter in Malaysia with an exciting three-way collaboration between TAKACHIA, The Lipatist, and Khass Bicycle. This vibrant event, held at Khass Bicycle in Johor Bahru, brought together some of the most passionate folding bike enthusiasts in Southeast Asia. It also marked the official launch of the TAKACHIA Tiime Series A20 — our new ultra-lightweight 20-inch foldable bike engineered for city performance.

A Partnership Fueled by Passion

The Lipatist is one of Malaysia’s most recognized folding bike communities, with active members from across the country — and beyond, including Singapore and Indonesia. Their consistent dedication and love for the folding bike lifestyle perfectly align with TAKACHIA’s mission. We’re proud to officially welcome The Lipatist as TAKACHIA’s club ambassador in Malaysia, helping us promote urban cycling and foldable bike culture across the region.

Khass Bicycle: A Trusted Name in Johor Bahru

A big part of this milestone wouldn’t be possible without Khass Bicycle, a well-established bike shop in Johor Bahru with over 30 years of experience. As an official TAKACHIA dealer in Malaysia, Khass played a key role in connecting TAKACHIA with The Lipatist and co-hosting this incredible event. More than a bicycle retailer, Khass is a true expert and partner in expanding the folding bike scene locally.

Signing Ceremony, Community Ride & Official Launch of the TAKACHIA Tiime Series A20

The collaboration was officially sealed with a signing ceremony between TAKACHIA, The Lipatist, and Khass Bicycle — symbolizing a shared vision to grow the folding bike movement in Malaysia and beyond.

As part of the event, we also hosted a special community ride with members of The Lipatist. It was a joy to see our newest model, the A20, in action alongside passionate riders cruising together in true folding bike spirit.

We also introduced the TAKACHIA Tiime Series A20, our 9.5kg aluminum 20" folding bike designed for riders who value agility, ride quality, and portability. During the first public test ride, cycling enthusiasts were impressed by the A20’s performance, reaffirming its reputation as one of the best folding bikes in Malaysia.
