2022

TIMI initiated market research in the shared bicycle sector, product development, the creation of a QR code rental system, and the validation of its business model, establishing a solid foundation for future market expansion and operation.

2023

TIMI started its trial operation phase in the Chinese market with the gradual introduction of bicycles and e-bikes. According to each city's development pace, different quantities of equipment were deployed monthly to progressively test market response, user needs, and operating system efficiency.

2024

As the trial operation progressed, TIMI gradually expanded its footprint in the Chinese market. By December 30, 2024, the trial operation covered more than 40 cities, accumulating extensive operational experience and important market data to support future official operations.

2025

TIMI gradually completed the main structures required for international expansion and obtained the respective operational qualifications in Hong Kong and the United States.

In the same year, the company began the gradual activation of the charging function for equipment used during the trial phase in China, promoting the transition from the testing phase to official commercial operations.

Also in 2025, TIMI officially entered the European market, choosing Portugal as the first strategic country outside of China.

Based on the experience gained in the Chinese market, the company defined a three-phase development strategy:

- Market expansion;

- Gradual introduction of equipment for trial operation;

- Entry into official commercial operation with the activation of the paid rental system.

2026

After more than a year of development, TIMI established a network in Portugal with more than 300 partner stores and two 4S Experience Centers.

At the same time, it began expanding to other markets, such as Brazil and Spain, already gathering tens of thousands of partners who actively participate in market construction, creating a solid foundation for the future official implementation of shared bicycle services in several countries.

TIMI does not wait for official operations to begin before putting equipment on the market.

During the expansion phase, equipment is introduced gradually in different regions for trial operation, according to the local development pace.

This means that the faster a market evolves, the larger the partner network, and the greater the market share conquered, the more equipment the company will make available in subsequent phases.

When a certain region achieves the strategic objectives defined by TIMI, the equipment previously used in the trial phase will be progressively converted to official operation, activating the QR code rental system with automatic charging.

Thus, TIMI's development model is not about waiting for the market to be fully mature to start operating.

On the contrary, it follows a continuous growth strategy:

Expand the market, install equipment, test the operation, and finally enter the official phase of commercial exploitation.
