“I’ve participated in many test ride events at dealers and exhibitions, and I’ve always had a great time. Interacting with Flippers (collective name of iruka owners) and potential Flippers is something I truly enjoy.
At the same time, I’ve often felt that some attendees couldn’t fully enjoy the experience. They might have wanted to ride longer or take a closer look at the bike but held back out of consideration for others. That’s what inspired me to create this appointment-only test ride event.
For example, if you’d like to go for a long ride, 75 minutes is more than enough time to make a full loop around the Imperial Palace and return. If you prefer to take your time examining the bike or taking photos, I’m happy to step aside and keep myself occupied so you can enjoy yourself without interruption.
Since this event is designed for one-on-one or small group sessions, I won’t be able to meet many people in a single day. However, this means each participant can take their time to really appreciate the iruka. Both iruka and I would be delighted if you leave with a deeper love for iruka.” says Mark, Founder and President of iruka Inc.
