Docomo Bike Share
We are staying at the Prince Gallery Koichio and they do not offer bike rentals, but they suggested the bike share that is in front of the hotel. It appears to be this one: https://docomo-cycle.jp/minato/en/
We would want to book these for the full day, which it offers for JPY 1500/day. What are these bikes like? I can see pictures but can't find many reviews. We would be taking them out all day, probably leisurely making our way to Ueno.
Anyone have thoughts/insights?
Thanks

I’ve used them a few times recently for short trips. I’m not a serious cyclist, so maybe I just don’t know any better, but the bikes seem good to me. The electric assist is cool and makes everything feel very easy, and the bikes are in good enough condition.
They’re probably as good or better than any other bike rental you might do except for something targeted to serious cyclists.
