Ricoland Tokyo Bay — Local services in Tokyo

Ricoland is the ultimate Bikers 🏍️ Dream spare parts shopping 🏬mall! We dropped by with no expectations 🙅‍♂️ and what we saw blew us away!!! 🤯🤯🤯

3 words : Awesome, Cool and Crazy!! 😎

To start with, a constant non-stop of bikers 🛵🏍️ kept pulling in. 🛣️ You get to see all sorts of bikes. Vintage, speed, power, race, they just kept turning into the carpark. Inside Ricoland, a BMW 1000R 🏍️ greets you at the door.

They sell everything!!! Oil 🛢️, Helmets 🪖, Tyres 🛞, Brakes, Race suits 🎽, Gloves 🧤, Exhaust, Jackets 🧥, Chains, Shoes 🥾….. etc. I cannot pinpoint an item that they don’t have for sale. In fact, not only they have so many spares, they have so many brands, versions and colours 🔵⚪️🔴🟠🟢⚫️ of it. There is something for everyone 👩🏼‍🦰👨‍🦰👴🏻🧔🏽‍♂️👱🏿and being a tourist, it was just a sight 👀 to behold. (Watch my video 📹)

I highly encourage anyone who is a bike lover to come by and make a tour 🏁. Back home, we don’t have anything that even comes remotely close to this scale, it is so massive, grand and awakening.

Next door is a car 🚘 garage that sells parts and modification for cars. Also another cool garage / carpark to drop by. (See my...

Buyer beware, they do not advertise this, but they do NOT accept returns if the box is opened.

I bought a helmet lock, went to the parking lot to try and install it, but it did not fit.

After explaining it to some store employee, he refused to allow for exchange, stating that "we won't be able to sell it open box". 2 pieces of scotch tape held the cheap plastic clamshell closed.

How can you refuse an exchange 5 minutes after selling an item? How can you operate a business by not taking returns? Customers should know that opened items are not returnable, which you don't advertise anywhere.

Why would anyone want to shop in your store when they can buy the same product for less online, and be protected with a refund if the product doesn't work?

I was trying to support local by not buying on amazon/mercari/rakuten, so I shopped here, but this was the last time, if you don't take returns, you don't get...

I had come here instead of the competitor store N**S because Ricoland was the more popular store of the 2.

Unfortunately, being popular has its downsides. Many helmets were out of stock in most graphics/colours and sizes. Even certain helmet accessories were sold out due to popularity.

The only saving grace is that the store is large and they have a huge selection of riding apparel from all sorts of manufacturers from Dainese and Alpinestars to local Japanese brands like RS Taichi and Komine. So if youre looking for riding gear, then Ricoland is the place to go. For helmets, its down to your luck of what they have in stock at the time of your arrival.

I headed to the competitor 1.5hrs train ride and lotsa walking away. Way less busy store. Had what I wanted in stock including the accessories I wanted. Just that its a much smaller store and the riding gear selection...
