Should you buy a USED Onewheel? 13 Reasons for & against 

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.

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.

I was considering buying used, but there was zero used ones near me. The used one wheel Facebook page turned out to be a page of nothing but people begging to buy one. Even the local shops were out of stock. Luckily my friend and I found a local dealer who had a few in stock so we helped out a local business.

I just bought a Pint because I wanted something to do with my kids during a summer of quarantine. We love it! And I was wondering if anybody else was thinking the same thing. I wonder if there has been a surge in sales... We also watched a ton of your videos before taking the leap, so thank you for all the content!

You actually have first "second hand" knowledge. 🤣🤙 Great info Jimmy.

I just bought a v1 last week on letgo for 500 with 35 miles and I love it!!!

Nicely done. I just picked up my XR and made a friend in the process. It is a lot better to know who you are buying from. Float On!

Im glad I have a friend who has a onewheel, I was able to try one out before I bought an XR and I love it.

Hey Jimmy , just to say that I recently purchased a secondhand OW+ and so far have been loving it. A large part of that decision and was due to your very down to earth videos so thank you for making them. BTW, the OW+ came with a new carbon mag fender, so are bumpers and a handle so all in all a good deal. Considering a CnR setup in the future!

This it the video I’ve been waiting for! Thank you so much!

Great video Jimmy! Loving my pint, but who knows, I could upgrade

Hi Jimmy, that guy honking his horn was great!

Sorry I haven’t been commenting in a bit. Good vid Jimmy. Several good points.

Copped one because of watching the videos of you and your son on your channel. I’m sure I’m not alone, Onewheel should consider a commission lmao. 20 miles in so far I love it, just some light neighborhood and beach riding.

In Sweden there is a used onewheel market. Its small but not really a problem to buy a used one. I live out on the countryside but a couple of hours by train or car and I can go on grouprides in the bigger citys. Keep up the good work with the videos with the onewheel👍

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 :)

Great video jimmy

Thank you for another great onewheel commercial!

If you’re coming to South Dakota, definitely consider stopping thru Yankton, SD (my hometown) - we have our incredible Meridian pedestrian bridge that crosses the Missouri into Nebraska and a couple dozen miles of trails along the river and around Lewis & Clark Lake. I’m a full-time filmmaker, as well - this could be a fun opportunity to document your experience, if you wouldn’t mind me tagging along 😉

I been wanting the xr . But i been thinking of buying used instead of NEW... thanks for the video alot Jimmy Chang!👍🏼 ..my real reason for used is because it doesn't have the bells an whistles the pint has to me, (simple stop) i just want one for the range since there not gonna make another pint with same range..

Hey jimmy great vid I was just thinking it would be very helpful if you could make a vid on the time it takes for oneweels to get delivered

Got mine used over a year ago and it worked out great... I immediately was scratching it up at the trails, so it didn't matter to have it look new... But I would say the peace of mind might be enough for some people.... That's less Ebay competition for me 😁

Couple more things, used issues: left in a cold car for weeks at a time? Charging habits? Curb drops? Water issues? Off-road riding vs pavement. Warranty is hardly covered and then FM holds you over a barrel if they can prove it’s not their issue and you have to pay an Insane amount to get it back. Using Ryan in the Facebook group and getting a part shipped in 2 days is worth it all day. I’d never buy a used unit, ever

Hi Jimmy, just wondering what a replacement battery for an XR would be?

That's some Mario Contino ride video's style X'-D Nice one :-] I've done my new Onewheel XR unboxing yesterday at home ^^ With a bunch of accesories (black rail-guards, orange bumbers - the FANG 3.0 on nose side ! -, black fender, an orange mag handle and a couple of Half-Life stickers to complet this set ;-P). 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 ^^

The used market is saturated now cause of the GT'S. I just need to save for one now. Lol!

Jimmy, I wear a size 13 shoe. Are my feet too big for the Pint?

When buying secondhand EUCs I would worry about the battery pack.

Sales tax on my latest OneWheel XR was $210! Los Angeles!

What do you prefer the one wheel pint or boosted mini s ?

what u think a good price for a xr with 1100 miles should be?

Sending you an envelope. Love your videos.

Just got a second hand xr yesterday with 22miles. 500$!

I really want a pint but I don’t have much money is there a way to find a cheaper pint?

Hello, I see you changed your shoes. Do you feel the flat skateboard shoes give more foot fatigue than your hiking style shoe?

My onewheel xr comes tomorrow! Brand new cost close to 3k with all extras got elite package and lots of stuff from 3rd party’s.

I live in SD!

Reason more nosedives? I got a XR and it’s got like 50 miles on it. So far i have nosedived three times!

Question from someone building their own Onewheel: how much clearance is there between the tire and the footplates/fender?

Look at that XR, man, spotless... totally unridden. lol

Your OneWheels are are purchased second hand, but aren't all your EUC brand new?

Both my borads are used price was the reason!

Im looking for used but I saw one that said it didn’t have a charger and to me that is a red flag that it is stollen

That may be the only upshot to going to s.d. over Hawaii the lack of stupid airline restrictions.

Save money n buy more masks NYC. Btw great video Jim! keep good work from queens ny :)

Do anyone know where I can buy a used ks14d or v5f

Any issues with batery degrigation on used boards

Should you look for one wheels under 100 miles ?

Does anyone think there will be a memorial day sale this year? I want to purchase my pint today, but I was told it may be a good idea to wait for memorial day. I know FM rarely runs sales. I would like to know others thoughts on this. I don't want to wait anymore, but I guess a couple more weeks wouldn't hurt if there is a chance of a sale.

I own and pint and a xr, both purchased used. Only one reason for that and that is there is no way I’m giving my money to future motion! I love the Onewheel but will not support a company that booby traps their boards and restrict the owners right to work on their own boards. Sorry FM I believe by purchasing my board I should have the right to change batteries, do mods whatever I choose IT’S MINE! So DO NOT BUY NEW, hope to build my own VESC someday. ✌️

I bought a used onewheel + with only 75km lifetime for around 1100 dollars.

I just bought a new XR just for the peace of mind that it’ll be in top shape for when I start riding

I wanted to buy used one, but if u aren't from USA it seems impossible. Ended up ordering a new pint

I like sticker are you still mailing

Hey Jimmy by any chance do you wanna buy a used Onewheel Xr that's still really new with low mileage? Or do you know anyone that's interested? Is there anyone interested in buying a used Onewheel XR that's still really new with low mileage? I am selling mines for $1,500 and yes I'm willing to pay for the shipping. Comment or reply to this to let me know if you're interested.

strange that a used xr is going for what they want a new xr are for since the price dropped for the gt

Still got stickers?

I got my OW Pint with 162 miles and a fender 2 weeks ago for $250! I took a train 2 hours away to Long Island to grab it, and man am I glad I did! Since then I've grabbed a brand new quart battery for $250, a cyberpunk CF fender and ultracharger (plus a bunch of other goodies) for $100, and a pair of sonny wheels (the best nosedive wheels IMO) for another $100! 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? I was going to get it for $650 but I think he realized he was going to low...:(

Never buy used electronics. Save a buy new. Of you need to budget for it. You don't need it. Buy new

Right... I don’t think I would buy a used onewheel that the previous owner could have covered with coronavirus...
