Ted Chu from the US ordered A20 from website, with international doorstep delivery.
"I purchased a TAKACHIA TIIME SERIES A20 aluminum trifold to be shipped overseas to the USA. The bike arrived within a month — it was well-packed with no shipping damage. The A20 is a fantastic trifold bicycle. It rides comfortably and weighs only 22 lbs with 20" wheels — much lighter than other competitors. I also own other bifold and trifold bikes, but I’m especially looking forward to riding the A20 on my next bike tour. I'm really liking the way the A20 rides!!"
Jacek Laskowski from Poland ordered 2 units of the C20 from the website, with international doorstep delivery.
"The idea of touring Korea on folding bikes turned out to be absolutely spot on. We rode about 750 km with luggage, mostly on asphalt, as TAKACHIA TIIME SERIES bike routes in Korea are very well-prepared. Riding these bikes have been a lot of fun, and they’ll definitely stay with us for the long run — thank you, team! It was a great purchase.
When folded, TAKACHIA TIIME SERIES C20 is compact enough to be transported by plane, train, or bus as regular luggage, without any extra fees. In fact, they survived four flights with just a nylon transport bag — very sturdy! The C20 wheels made it easy to mount 10-liter panniers on the rear rack, which wouldn’t have been possible with a 16" classic folding bike from a well‑known brand without extra modifications. The external 9-speed gear system also came in very handy during our trip, especially when climbing 100-meter hills with 6–10% gradients multiple times a day.
In my opinion, TAKACHIA TIIME Series C20 are perfect for both long-distance travel and city riding."
Another happy TAKACHIA owner! Wayne S. from Canada purchased a C20 from our Singapore shop and flew back home with it.
“I was on a trip to Singapore last year from Canada and was in the market to replace my T*rn folder. I am glad I found a local bike shop, I met Henry when I visited the store, he was friendly and professional answering questions and listening to all my requirements. Henry recommended me TAKACHIA TIIME SERIES Trifold Bike. After explaining and showing me the features of the TAKACHIA TIIME SERIES C20, I took it out for a test ride and instantly fell in love with the bike. The bike was easy to put together, road smooth and rigid with no flexing. Best feature was it packs down to a smaller size then my T*rn and can be easily transported by pushing it around as opposed to carry it. I have had the bike for over a year and toured the circumference of Shikoku Island in Japan. Will be doing another Japan tour this year riding Kyushu Island. I am so thankful that I stumbled upon TAKACHIA.”
