BIGJOY is mostly a scooter and motorbike business, and its 25 electric bicycles run the 15.4 Ah battery that the shop rates at about 90 km a charge. That's plenty for a long day on the bridged islands, and rentals of two days or more come with a charger so you can top up overnight. Short hires cost ¥2,200 for up to four hours.
Delivery is charged by distance, ¥2,000 each way within 5 km of the shop and ¥2,500 beyond that, and the request has to be in by the day before. The website runs in English and the shop says it handles English, so you can book without Japanese. Keep the bike on sealed roads; the terms rule out unpaved tracks because of punctures.
