We can send your tokyobike the easy way or the easier way.
Option 1. We’ll ship it to a local bicycle shop near you (our recommendation)
We use your shipping address to select a bike shop near you with the highest reputation. And where possible, we choose shops we’ve had success with in the past and know first-hand to be the most friendly. Once a shop is selected and your assembly is organized, our team will notify you via email. It usually takes a bike shop 1-10 days to assemble your new tokyobike after it arrives with them. We can’t control bike shop assembly times, but we do our best to choose shops that are known for their speedy service.
Once your tokyobike is assembled, your local bike shop will contact you for pick up. Assembly fees typically range from $75-160, depending on where you live. Make sure you save your receipt and email it to us right away at info@tokyobike.us, along with your bicycle’s serial number for registration. In exchange, we’ll send you a $100 digital tokyobike gift card.
If you also purchased accessories that need professional installation (such as racks, baskets or fenders), those will be shipped to your local bike shop, too - unless you request otherwise. Accessories or life goods that don't need professional assistance will be sent straight to your shipping address.
Option 2. We’ll ship it to you directly (assembly required)
If you’d prefer to have your tokyobike sent directly to you, we deeply respect that. We’ll send it to your shipping address and, from there, you’ll need to organize assembly yourself. Please note, we don’t include assembly instructions because we believe professional assembly will provide you with a safer and longer-lasting bicycle. And proof of assembly by a professional mechanic is necessary to maintain your one-year warranty. Once you organize professional assembly on your own, don’t forget, you still qualify for a $100 gift card with a copy of your receipt.
For international customers, only this option is available. And for pre-orders, please refer to our Pre-Orders T&C here.
At tokyobike we want to ensure you are making your purchase with as much information as is necessary and provide a positive shopping experience. If you have any questions, please read our FAQ or contact us directly.

About Nonusual
Simple, beautiful, and unique are a few of the first words that come to mind when we think of Nonusual. The London based duo behind the designs, Akira Chatani and Ryo Yamada, strive to create non-usual products. The simplicity of the design of their Gropes grips is perfectly complementary to any tokyobike. The touch and feel of the leather they use is buttery and comforting, and their classic lace-up design reminds us of simpler times, and has us ready to take long rides in style.
