Does anyone have experience bringing a regular bicycle (or XXL luggage) on board Italo trains in Italy? Trying to figure out if removing 1 or 2 wheels and packing it would be accepted.

From what I've found: https://blog.italotreno.it/mondo-treno/italo-bagagli-e-valigie-tutte-le-regole/
- The "Smart" (second) class has a limit of 75x53x30 cm, which is too small (even removing everything a regular frame is 90cm long).
- The only allowed bicycles are "folding bicycles".
- However, the "Prima" (first) class supposedly allows "XXL" luggage, and any number of luggage that one can carry. So does a regular bicycle packed in a bag (with 1 or 2 wheels removed) count?
- Is there any check-in to enter the train with luggage check (ala OuiGo)?
- From the transport contract, in the worst case one has to pay a fine of 10€ and leave the luggage at the next station: https://www.italotreno.com/~/media/Images/content/pdf/contratto_di_trasporto/Contrattoditrasportorel607
Somehow there could be good discounts on Prima tickets at the time I'm planning, but I've never travelled with Italo before so I'm curious how is the experience in practice.
Hai dei dubbi su Italo e bagagli: ecco le info su che misure deve avere la valigia, dove posizionarla, costi (nessuno) e deposito bagli.

in reply to Guillaume Endignoux • • •@Guillaume Endignoux @Jon Worth I don't have direct experience, I've found elsewhere on the Italo website that regular bicycles are explicitly forbidden (I don't know whether in practice they would check a big luggage for a hidden (disassembled) bicycle).

trenitalia on le frecce instead allows regular bicycles, disassembled and carried in a bag, with a maximum size of 80 cm x 110 cm x 45 cm
