FAQ
CHOOSING YOUR TOKYOBIKE
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE BEST SIZE FOR ME?
tokyobike models come in a range of sizes designed to fit just about everyone.
Please refer to our size guide to determine the best size for you. The guide is provided as a reference – everyone's body is different and you may have a sizing preference. If need further help, please don't hesitate to contact us for advice.
CAN I EXCHANGE A BIKE IF IT DOESN'T FIT?
In the event a bike does not fit, an exchange may be offered at our discretion provided it has not been ridden, and subject to assessment for any damage to the bike in transit. Bikes for return must be professionally repacked, and we are unable to cover or subsidise the cost of professional repacking, return shipping or re-shipping of the correct size.
Please see our Return & Exchange policy and Terms of Service for further details.
CAN I CHOOSE A COLOUR THAT'S NOT AVAILABLE IN THE TOKYOBIKE RANGE?
tokyobike colours are carefully curated and we take pride in our unique collection. We do not offer custom colours outside of our range.
CAN I ORDER A COLOUR OR MODEL I'VE SEEN OVERSEAS?
We select a range of colours and models unique to Australia. International tokyobike stores may have models or colours that we don't stock. As our bikes are made to order within our range, we are unable to place an order for international models.
WHY DOES TOKYOBIKE HAVE A SMALLER WHEEL SIZE THAN OTHER SIMILAR BIKES?
tokyobike was conceived for riding around Tokyo, and like riding in any city, this involves a lot of starting and stopping. The smaller wheel size makes accelerating from a stop (at traffic lights, stop signs, or because you want to take a quick picture) a great deal easier. The smaller wheel size also makes tokyobike more maneuverable and agile for avoiding obstacles on the road, making it safer to ride.
