🚗 Travel Beyond Hokkaido

Based in Hokkaido — one of Japan’s premier cycling regions — your bike can also travel throughout the country. Car ferries connect Hokkaido with Honshu, opening unlimited touring routes from alpine passes to coastal highways. Pair your bike with our rental vehicles and explore Japan without limits.

What if I want to ship the bike to my home country some day?

While it is possible to ship overseas, the shipment has to be ocean freight due to the battery so it's unlikely to be practical with anything less than 2 bicycles. However if you have 2 or more bikes and you'd like to do that someday, we can facilitate it. It wold ship on a pallet LCL from Hokkaido to your location FOB your nearest port. Packing, shipping, clearance and taxes would all be borne by you, the receiver.
