STUDENT
This boardbike cost JY15,800 from Tokyu Hands. I like the fact that it' really
comfortable to ride. I have had an accident actually. I fell down dynamically in Ebisu and
ripped my pants.
RIKAKO AND ASAKO/
GIRLS ABOUT TOWN
We got our boardbikes from Ura Harajuku. They both cost JY15,000. They're fashionable and
easy to move. We like the way they glide! Neither of us has had an accident yet. We tried
to ride together once but it didn't work.

STUDENT
I got this boardbike from a local discount shop for JY12,500. It's really easy to ride. I
haven't had an accident, and there's no way I could fit another person on here anyhow!

Sell your scooter, bin your bicycle and kiss your last train good-bye. There's only one
way to get around town these days and that's by boardbike. Speedy, cute and handy, they're
fold-up-fantastic and fit as easily under arm as they do under foot. This week our roving
reporter gets board silly and asks: What's the deal on these wheels? Have you ever had an
accident? Or picked up an unexpected passenger?

WHATEVER
I bought this boardbike at Shinjuku Field for JY38,000. Why do I like it? It's more than a
mode of transport - it's fun; it's cool. I've never had an accident or picked up anyone.

STUDENT
I paid JY15,800 for this boardbike at Pajabo. I like being able to carry it anywhere. I
haven't had an accident or picked up a passenger - yet!
