“It’s the first bike that actually improves my life.”
-Stefano Simonelli
Stefano’s real experience after switching from a gravel bike to TAKACHIA — a transformation in freedom, convenience, and daily comfort.
I’ve been cycling in Rome for eight years. My gravel bike was a loyal companion, but it came with limitations: it stayed in the garage, I had to go down to get it every time, and on trains I could only board in the dedicated bike carriage. It worked, but it was often complicated. And so I ended up using my car more than I wanted to, stuck in traffic and wasting time searching for a parking spot — which is becoming almost impossible to find.
Everything changed when I got my Takachia TIIME Series 20’’ folding bike.
I can bring it up to my apartment in the elevator, hop on any train, metro, or bus without a second thought, and take it inside shops, supermarkets, even my office. It naturally fits into my daily routine, instead of forcing me to adapt to it.
It’s solid, light, and surprisingly smooth to ride.
But most importantly, it has given me a new sense of freedom: now I hardly ever use my car, no more stress, no more endless searches for parking.
It’s the first bike that doesn’t just follow me through the city… It truly makes my life better.

...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!!

...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.

The TAKACHIA TIIME SERIES A16 is incredibly light and compact, it makes travelling with the bike very easy for buses, trains and ferries. It's comfortable to ride, even for some like me who is quite tall. The large gear range makes it versatile for tackling different terrains. It's great out of the box, and I can't wait to take it on more trips around the world.

... The wheels made it easy to mount 10-liter panniers on the rear rack, which wouldn’t have been possible with a 20" traditional trifold bike 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 are perfect for both long-distance travel and city riding.
