history
Teodoro Carnielli di Vittorio Veneto learned Ottavio Bottecchia know already 1909th Back then, Carnelli was still a handyman who repaired bicycles and trailers, and was also the president of the local cycling club. Carnielli immediately recognized the extraordinary talent of the young Ottavio Bottecchia [and teamed up with him.]
Carnielli and Bottecchia began manufacturing bicycles in 1926, which were sold under the athlete's name as Bottecchia . In addition to bicycles, the newly founded company also manufactured motorcycles under the names Trionfo and Vittoria . Between 1930 and 1940 around 100 people worked for the company. After Bottecchia's death, the Carnielli family continued and expanded the business.
In 1951, Guido Carnielli, a son of the co-founder, built a bike that cannot fall over to make rehabilitation easier for people with walking difficulties . He brought it under the name Cyclette (dt .: exercise bike ) on the market.
Over the years, Bottecchia has developed into one of the larger manufacturers of touring and racing bikes . In 2006, more than 50,000 Bottecchia bikes were sold in Europe.
In Germany, BBF Bike from Dahlwitz-Hoppegarten near Berlin sells the brand.
