    I bought a used XR this month with 6 miles on it. Came with an orange fender, an orange plug cover, a helmet, triple 8 wristguards, knee pads, and elbow pads as well.... Only $1250 and was the first person I contacted about buying one. Super simple transaction. Paid cash in a sheriff parking lot.

    I found one on eBay that I wanted, but the buyer didn't get back to me in time to let me know the shipping options (he said shipping, but only had local pick-up). It was the right price with the right accessories, right mileage, and had he gotten back to me I would have taken it. The auction ended and I took the plunge and just bought a new one on Sunday, then today I get an email notification that he relisted it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any onewheels for sale on FB or CL, so it my options were pretty limited to eBay or buy new.

    Reasons For 1. Save money by saving on the depreciation hit 2. No sales tax 3. Support the community 4. Warranties are transferrable 5. Accessories may be included (and sometimes a lot of them) 6. Less stress Reasons Against 7. Time consuming 8. Depending on location - market may be very, very small (or none) 9. Missing out on new smell / look 10. Don't have the full warranty 11. More stress 12. Harder to finance 13. It may not be that much cheaper

    I bit the bullet during quarantine researching my butt off on these and just said what the hell, I'll just buy one new. That unboxing and clean smell is an experience. I was one of those new one wheelers buying accessories to protect my board and make it mine, I dont regret it. I love my onewheel. Me and a group did a ride yesterday on the Las Vegas strip and it was heaven. You can't beat that feeling where so many people are watching and " oohing"and "aweing" wondering what in the world we are riding as we zip right by them. Since the strip is somewhat empty, there are a lot of people riding bikes through it. Well this is the best 1800 Ive spent ever. I could of bought used if I tried but I didn't want to risk having someone elses problem. Theres no way for me to know how a used onewheel was treated and that alone is a dealbreaker for me. If I was going to drop that much coin, that peace of mind is worth the extra money. anyways, great video jimmy. Cheers.

    Thanks for the video Jimmy! I probably should have bought used since I was one of those that went all crazy with accessories on day 1. I bought a lot of protective side plates and bottom plates to protect the rails and bottom. I also added a fender and a kush foot pad along with a great handle. I enjoy the Onewheel XR+ and glad I bought it. However, now that I have had time to ride it for quite some time I realize I just like PEVs that go faster with even greater range than the XR+. I may actually sell my Onewheel XR+ so I can make room for a Kingsong S18 EUC but still on the fence. I have been riding the Onewheel more during this pandemic and it has been great cruising around San Francisco. I may still just keep it and get an EUC :)

I don't want her riding on San Francisco streets. She always asks to ride the Onewheel in the park and it is super fun in that setting. I haven't had any time on an EUC but I feel it is more what I am looking for in a hands-free PEV. I just need to see how I can justify it given all my electric scooters. I think I may need to find new homes for a few scooters.

I spent the day assembling everything. But I can't ride it yet ^^' The sports shop around are all out of stock about safety gears X'-D I had to buy online so I have to wait them to be delivered (maybe today or tomorrow). Cause I won't ride my board without them of course. Battery fully charged, waiting on Futur Motion stand in the main room ! Oh, and for information I had the chance to already test the Onewheel for an hour in Paris last week, went so good, had the time to get quite confortable on it, get the sensations... and to confirm that, yeah, this is for me as I thought :-] I'll be safe and not cocky (we are likewise safe men, don't want to be hurt !) take care ^^

    It's a fair concern. Likely (unless it's been physically beat with a stick or something) that the worse issue to worry about with the battery is a dip in range/output. I'd worry less about cut outs because of that and more personally worry about the control board or something mechanically wrong otherwise, seeing as a lot of them are usually run pretty hard when you look at some of the mileage and activities riders put them through like jumping curbs and off-roading. More over, new wheels come out so often promising better range and other features.

I think I'm doing pretty well in terms of bang for buck! Second hand websites are the f-ing best! Now I'm looking at a +XR with a fast charger and fender for $900, should I jump on it?
