The Future of Urban Cycling: Why Now Is the Time to Partner with TAKACHIA
Urban mobility is changing fast. Across major cities in Europe, North America, and beyond, more people are turning to compact, eco-friendly transport solutions that fit their lifestyle. The folding bike, once a niche choice, is now a key player in this shift — driven by the growing need for space-saving designs, commuter convenience, and sustainable living.
In recent months, TAKACHIA has seen growing inquiries and rising demand from the USA, Europe, and Canada. This strong interest shows that the market is ready for a fresh alternative in the folding bike space.
For decades, the classic British trifold bike has set the benchmark. But while its heritage is undeniable, today’s riders are seeking something more: a bike that offers better value for money, is easy to maintain, and uses universal parts for greater convenience. That’s where TAKACHIA, an innovative folding bike brand from Singapore, comes in.
We are now actively seeking dealer partners in the USA, Europe, and Canada. By working with us, you’ll not only gain access to a product line with strong market demand, but also help us deliver an excellent experience to local customers. It’s a win–win opportunity — you grow your sales while riders in your region get the compact, reliable bikes they’ve been asking for.
Partnering with TAKACHIA is about collaboration, not hard selling. We guide customers to our trusted dealers, so your focus is on providing excellent service and building lasting success together.
Are you ready to join us? Here’s what we look for in our partners:
🔹A physical bicycle shop to provide hands-on service and customer support
🔹Solid technical knowledge of bicycles and maintenance
🔹A genuine passion for cycling, seeing it as more than just a business opportunity
Proven Global Appeal — Even Without a Local Dealer
TAKACHIA is not just a concept — it’s a growing movement. Even without a dedicated dealer presence in Europe, the USA, or Canada, we’ve already delivered bikes to riders in these regions. Many customers have chosen to have their TAKACHIA shipped internationally, demonstrating their strong commitment to the brand, and their feedback speaks volumes.
Let’s hear from Taiki Saito, one of the customer from France who recently ordered the A20 directly from our website, with international doorstep delivery:
"I purchased the TAKACHIA TIIME SERIES A20 online and had it shipped overseas to France. I use the bike for both commuting and traveling—it’s versatile. I typically ride 20–30 minutes to work. Sometimes, I take the bike into the métro with me. It handles this routine smoothly. It's especially helpful when public transport is down. When I travel, I often fold the bike and take it with me on trains as luggage. It allows me to start exploring immediately upon arrival. The 9-speed gearing also makes it easier to ride, even on slopes or going up and down. One particularly memorable moment was cycling around Lake Annecy—such a stunning experience. The photo was taken there.!!"
This early interest and positive response from international customers demonstrate a clear demand for TAKACHIA in these markets — a demand that is poised to grow even further with local dealer support.
Why the Market is Ready — Especially in France & the USA
The global folding bike market, valued at USD 1.20 billion in 2024, is projected to more than double by 2033. Two of the most exciting growth regions are France and the United States, each for their own reasons:
In France:
🔹Paris, under its 2021–2026 bike plan, is set to add 180 km of new bike lanes and triple its bike parking capacity—with €250 million in funding—as part of its goal to become fully cyclable by 2026 TDP.
🔹At the national level, France is investing €2 billion by 2027 to expand cycling infrastructure across the country Forbes.
🔹Paris now ranks as the most cycling-friendly city for children in Europe—surpassing Amsterdam and Copenhagen—thanks to extensive protected lanes and safety investments The Guardian.
In the USA:
🔹Micromobility—including folding bikes—is surging. A McKinsey consumer poll found that 24% of Americans use micromobility weekly, and 30% plan to increase usage Zag Daily.
🔹Rising fuel prices and crowded urban conditions are driving more people toward alternative transport. Many users say they’ve increased their micromobility usage due to higher fuel costs ROSA PGrand View Research.
🔹Investments and partnerships aimed at integrating micromobility and public transit are reshaping cities and reducing car-dependence in major US metropolitan areas Department of Transportation.
In both France and the USA, these strong growth trends and government-backed initiatives clearly signal rising demand for premium, practical folding bikes. Urban riders are no longer just looking for a bike — they want a reliable, high-performance solution that fits their busy lifestyles, offers comfort, and requires minimal maintenance.
This creates an ideal environment for TAKACHIA dealers to thrive. By offering a folding bike engineered to meet these exact needs, dealers can capitalize on:
🔹Growing customer demand fueled by infrastructure investments and subsidies that encourage cycling adoption.
🔹Consumers willing to invest in quality and value, as shown by rising interest in well-designed, easy-to-maintain bikes like TAKACHIA.
🔹An expanding micromobility market hungry for innovative options beyond traditional models.
Partnering with TAKACHIA means you can offer a product perfectly aligned with market expectations — helping you attract more customers, build loyalty, and grow your business as these markets continue to expand.
