I'm looking for second-hand bike shop in Tokyo

hiverloon · 9 Sep 2016

Does anybody know of any second hand bike shop around Tokyo? Given a second hand bike shop, is there a chance they will have a used e-bike?

With any shop selling used anything you're going to have to call or visit to confirm what they have in stock.

What's your budget? You can get brand-new "mama-chari" ("Mama's Chariot") style bicycles for around 10,000.

(Did you check the replies in your previous thread?)

E-bike as in cheating?

I would say JPY 75000. I have actually come across several stores selling mama-chari looking bikes and they typically do not exceed 15000 JPY but if I can find a used battery-powered one, I'd rather get that.

Sure, and now I want to have more knowledge about getting a bike.

Do they have offline store? When purchasing things like bike I prefer to know the actual condition of my choice before making the deal.

Thanks a lot! I will contact them to inquire the availability of e-bikes (not sure how it's connected with cheating .

Just a cyclists' inside joke. Good luck and let us know what you settled for.

Basic forum etiquette for people starting threads includes at least some indication that replies have been seen. There's no faster way to get people to stop answering your questions than to give the impression you don't look at them. It's basic manners and common courtesy.

If you had clicked the link instead of expecting everybody to do everything for you then you would have seen a photo of the storefront.

Thanks for reminding me.

Yes, I have done that but I couldn't find the contact tab which usually contains their address. But I just found out that their address is provided right below the second picture, it's in Chuo city.

If you walk around your neighborhood you'll probably find an old guy who fixes bikes and sells some that he rehabs. That's how I found my bike, at least.

Thanks for that information, I live in Minato-ku indeed.
Just can you please explain a bit about "net catalog selling"? Is it some part of the purchase process when I buy bikes from local government of Tokyo's recycle?
