- In this video my son and I ride from East Village in Manhattan to Brooklyn, back to Manhattan to check out the One World Trade Center before meeting with our family to go to the Statue of Liberty where we meet a celebrity! During this ride I look into whether the Onewheel XR is worth $1,799. I discuss both sides of the argument and share by opinion.

#OnewheelXR
After riding my new XR+ for about 2 weeks I will provide my answer. The answer is yes, ABSOLUTELY worth it. I have 0 regrets.
They should include the charge port cover for sure and the fender too.
The lack of a charger cover, looooool! So randomly strange. It's only 3usd so include it or up the price by 3 but don't make you have to get sperately! Might use gaffa tape to protest. Wish they'd release a new one. I don't want to buy nearly 4 year old tech. For 1st timers they should release a new one or drop the price
Not saying 1800 isn't worth it, but they should include some accessories. No charge port cover? Come on.
Lol
The charger port cover is 3 bucks bro, live a little! Lol
UcanThnkItuCanDoit exactly why it should be included
@@UcanThnkItuCanDoit They have accessories in carbon and colors to match. You can deck it out on your own They have bundle deals at great prices
@@UcanThnkItuCanDoit Don't say that to us, say it to One Wheel.
Still worth it? 100% yes. I just got one after a few years of wanting one. Giant smiles everytime I ride.
I bought my Pint new a few months back and just today had my first nose dive - ran it out from just over 15mph. I’m a big guy, and although I love noodling around on the Pint in my neighborhood and at the airport I’ve been outgrowing the speed(as demonstrated by today’s nosedive), and that solidified my decision to add an XR to the “fleet.” I’ve been on used groups and eBay looking at them all year, and frankly the prices that both the XR and Pint command used made it an easy decision to buy both new. I hardly ever buy something new when used is an option, but when a board that’s cosmetically beat up and has hundreds of miles on it sells for only around a 5% discount, it’s easy for me to justify new and know exactly what riding has been done on it. Thanks for the video and happy riding!
2 weeks ago i nosedived at 23 mph and got stitched in my chin and wrist
Yes, it's worth it. Just got mine and I'm 49 and lovin' it. Yes, they shouldn't nickle and dime ya. Charge port cover and fender should be included.
For me as someone who has been following one wheel since v1, I just picked up xr the other day and it's absolutely worth every penny. I've never had this much fun with something, it's just so incredibly fun, and the better I get the more fun it becomes!
I'm fine with the $1799 price point, it's a well designed transport with excellent reliability. It's ok to pay a bit more for something that is US based and had a lot of US inspection and testing during final assembly.
Compare that to the EUCs which (for sure) have bigger batteries and speed etc at that price point, but are also China based and have poor quality control and reliability in comparison.
What I'm not ok with is Future Motion's new policy of code-locking batteries to controllers so the user can't swap parts, and also FM's policy of not selling spare parts.
Also, I'd like to see a slightly larger and faster Onewheel, with settable speed audio and visual warnings. And sure, bump the price up 10 to 20% that's fine if it has 20% more range, torque and speed. FM need to make the "premium" onewheel before someone else does. Like Evolve LaCroix type situation...
Always a thought provoking video Jimmy.👍
Thanks for the thought provoking comment!
So, this is safe because it's made in US? And China's Unis aren't. Ok. That's bs. Go look at the video where they talk about how dangerous onewheel can be, there are countless of people who broke the collar bone, elbow, arms, etc with this. On reddit too. This is not safer than any other EV, in fact is pretty much one of the most dangerous. Because the nosedives that's unique to the onewheel.
@@Hellmiauz Sure the Onewheel can be dangerous, like all self balancing things that do 20mph.
But I was talking about RELIABILITY. That is the way it does not break down or blow up like a lot of Chinese rideables. They are made in Chinese factories with very low paid workers who just don't care about the product, and the assembly is rushed. The Onewheel is assembled in the US with a lot of care and testing, and that extra attention during final assembly makes a huge difference to the product reliability. 🙂
$1,799 in 2020? Absolutely not. The Pint is fairly priced. My biggest gripe is that no accessories are offered. Not even the little port plug protectors..even those have to be purchased separately.
You could do a down payment and pay a car note for it
@@VOlDTALES well, I already have a Pint. That's enough for me. Thanks for the suggestion though.
@@VOlDTALES Most car notes are well over $3000 dollars. Unless you have insanely good credit....
Also you can easily buy the Onewheel one a 20 month payment plan..
@@masterDarts4188 Or just save up and buy it in one go and stop financing things. That's the best way and the most financially sound decision. Don't buy it unless you can actually afford it is the motto to go by.
@@WhiskeyToro I kind of agree, but for most things once it pasts 1 K I finance plan it. Most people buy the Onewheel onna credit card and just pay it off months later. So it's not really that much of a difference.
You were preaching the truth brother. It is interesting to see EUCs grow and change so quickly while the onewheel stays the same, but, at the same time, to buy a comparable EUC to a onewheel is still expensive. Something rugged that just works and has a 15-20 mile range while going off-road is still hard to find.
Still has same price on May 2021 😂
They still making the money too, cause I just bought one xD Impossible to buy one used where I live. Tiny city in Canada, and I'd rather see it in person before buying used lol
I just finally bit the bullet on that cost. We'll see if it's worth it. I just needed an escape from all this craziness in the world and in my life. Hopefully I can find some people to ride with here in Atlanta.
@Whut Huh?
Well, worth it?
How's it going?
@@tylerfouts9550 Who me?
@@Evolve816 yeah hows the board?
Designed and built in California. Made by people making relatively decent wages, in a clean, safe facility in San Jose. I think that justifies a slight premium, in addition to its great build quality and user experience.
Oh so we should pay a shit ton because they don't make much? Sounds like entitlement.
But no charge cover?? That's some dumb apple type crap
@SmittyWerbenjager Manjenson So you want people to labor for low wages so you can get a cheaper toy? Sounds like entitlement.
@@Suptown entitlement? It's called the free market. They have the right to charge nearly $2k for an electric motor on a plank and you have the right to remind them you can get plated trail bike for that money and ride the highway when you need to.
Controlled by a global capital investment firm. Keep telling yourself Future Motion are the good guys.
Charming as always, Jimmy. Loved this. A happy mother's day to your wife and mom! Take care, and be well sir.
Thanks Mario. That NYC trip felt like a lifetime ago. It was fun to revisit the footage.
Hi mario
cool videos Jimmy. you're getting me hooked on pulling the trigger real soon. can't believe you got one for your mother haha. my asian mom wouldn't even consider standing on one if i got it. love the family outings. stay safe bro
I think the pint changes the value quite a lot. If you don't need the extra range of the XR, the Pint is a great value.
If you DO need the range of the XR, and are comfortable taking your board apart, get the Pint, and the chibatterysystems quart battery, and you have XR range and pint size, for $1400. IMO this is the best value you can get right now short of finding a great deal on a used XR.
Easily worth $2k.
A snowboard, bindings, boots, and one season pass will cost about $1200 if you buy the low end equipment. A shitty used dirt bike will cost about $2k. A friend scoffed at the price of my XR being the same as the used jet ski he bought - he used it twice last year. If you get a Onewheel, you'll more than likely use it every single day.
Hey wanna buy a dirtbike
Want to buy my car? 1996 Honda Civic $1500
Whut a one wheel that goes 19 mph is more worth it than a car that goes 140 mph and the engine can be replaced for around $1200 if it goes bad? Ppl either live at home home or have too much money to spend on stupid shit
Whut I just replaced my head for $550. Drives like new, and I exaggerated about the mph, it can prolly hit 120. I’ve done 100 in it down the 91 fwy here in cali. Late night high drives
Whut um you’re stupid dude, even my old ass pick up truck could hit 100 on the hwy at top speed and it was a 1990. $1500 cuz I paid $1200 for it and it’s in great condition and I put a new head in it. It drives like a brand new car now. She’s my daily but I’m trying to buy an ‘05 Lexus is300
I’ve only had a few weeks with my pint but an XR is still on my to buy list. I love commuting with the pint and I think it was a great investment. I train around the city and needed a way to get around quickly between areas that are close but not far enough to feel great about bringing a car along. My starter would probably give in about a year hah. I can’t wait to get an XR in a year or two. But for now, this Pint is doing the job just fine. I also find the price of the XR fair especially now that I’ve experienced $1k worth of stoke.
@Jimmy_Chang, You don't know how much that means to me about you saying to showing appreciation to our parents. I lost both of mine at around my early adulthood. I miss them so much. Everyone who listens to this, please appreciate your parents while you have time with them. All the good and bad, it doesn't matter, they raised you. That alone shows how much they care. You never know what might happen tomorrow, so treat it like it's a precious thing to have them in your life.
I dont mind paying for something as long as I feel it's worth the price.
That's the challenge Future Motion needs to over come. If they want the One wheel to stay worth the price they need to upgrade it.
One thing for instance is the One Wheel having a forward nose dive.
In my opinion that absolutely needs to go.
When the battery gives out the board should slam backwards not forwards. That makes it significantly safer in my opinion.
Also they should consider playing around with their sensor so the board might have more omnidirectional features.
Also both boards should have built in handles for convenient carrying.
Also while I'm fine with the speed they must upgrade the battery. Most people have to buy battery upgrades from third party manufacturing.
I got an XR and it's hard finding those. But I found someone who sells s battery extension which basically doubles the range of the XR motion.
And the way their battery works is essentially putting the battery on top of the fender.
Future motion Should easily be able to make something like that..
Maybe by having an extra battery built into the fenders and carbon cover so the parts come as part of a set and not only protects your device but enhances it as well..
Yo the battery gives out and the board does slam backwards.
You do realize the reason you nosedive is because of where you weight is positioned on the board. There is push back that if you ignore wherever your weight is you will go.
Great info as always! I recently purchased a used XR and I'm glad I did. I bought my pint new of course but other than range and top speed I feel the pint is a better designed and more refined product. I feel the XR should be $1500 with an optional package with included accessories for $1800. Keep it up Jimmy! 😷🤙
ict_onewheelbros is the xr worth buying for the upgrade as I have a pint which is full accessorised now , is there much difference from your experience?
@@henryrobson9750 Yes the XR is a beast. I don't think I would buy it new though. Jimmy points out great reasons why. The battery is twice as long if not more. It's not as nimble as the pint, even with a Burris 6. The increased battery, top speed and minimal pushback is very nice. My 9 year kid son rides the pint now and he gets the same range as I do on the XR. He's only 70 pounds. Both are great but they are different machines. I still prefer the nimbleness of the pint but I appreciate the stability of the XR. 😎🤙
May I ask your opinion comparing the twos on hills climbing??
@@asmashingway-visuals3571 No issues with either one. Some things to factor in though are your body weight, steepness of the incline, and how much battery you have. Once you get to know your onewheel you will become familiar with what it can do with your body type and of course more juice yields better performance on an incline. My son is 9 and weighs about 70 ponds and he can literally go up hills that I can not, even on the XR. I also weigh 200 pounds and at a certain point if the incline is too much the tire just spins out.
Literally just bought an XR an hour ago and freaking love Kim’s Convenience!!!!
Hope you love the XR!
I've wanted an XR for at least a couple of years but I just can't justify the price due to how underpowered it is compared to basically any PEV in its price range (E-boards, EUC's, E-Scooters, etc.). Not to mention they way overcharge for accessories and swag as well, so there's no cheap way to get into the Onewheel brand. Even the Pint (which I rode because someone at my school let me try it) is crushed by basically every respectable e-board close to its price. As amazing as it was to ride, even that amount of fun isn't worth almost 2k to me. I'm hoping they release another XR that's more affordable and can actually compete in performance. Until then I'll be sticking with other types of PEVs.
I don’t regret buying mine even a single bit
That was more than my car
Lol
@@DevilGamer-xk5hd yessir, 96 Honda Civic original beautiful paint, pearl white no fading or anything. Was garaged by an older woman, manual trans. Just replaced the head gasket for around $550. Runs like a brand new car! Bought her for $1300. With the repairs that’s what this one wheel cost lol 😂
@@Alextheskater91 no one asked
The XR is the perfect adjunct for automobile ownership. I burn gas driving my car ONLY when I need to do something that requires a car. For everything else I ride the XR. I easily go 2 weeks without taking the car out of the garage. 1100 miles on the XR and still rolling. Best purchase ever!!
Call your car insurance. Maybe they will do a rate adjustment since you use it so infrequently! Let me know how it goes.
Ha!! I rate decrease on my auto insurance and a rate increase on my health insurance. At mile 650 I broke two ribs, my collar bone and got a nasty concussion. I nose-dived going 25mph.(Yes, I was wearing a helmet). It's all healed though. Back at it!! 🤪
Thanks for the video Jimmy! I completely agree with you. I think Future Motion should include a fender by default. It would complete the product and I am sure the actual cost of the fender is very low for Future Motion. I am looking at the King Song S18 as my first EUC.
Love this open minded and insightful perspective on the onewheel, and love that it's a family activity! I was also thinking of using this for exploring and wondering. I'll check out your used onewheel buying guide. Thanks for the enjoyable videos.
I personally love the beaten up look they get after it's used for a while!
Won't get one, because of the price, but would love to
Wise words good sir. Despite your conclusion, I bought new bcuz trying to find a reasonably priced used model XR was a giant pain. My new XR arrives tomorrow! Amped!!!!
This dude's videos are always great. He should have more subscribers.
I don’t have one but my 11 year old wants one. 1800.00 is a sting, especially for an 11 year old that probably feels it’s just a toy. I believe this is worth it for people that are going to use it for commuting on a regular basis. It’s cheaper than a car, little maintenance, no vehicle insurance or registration needed. So 1800 is a lot of money but is much cheaper than most transportation. I’ll get my son one when he understands the cost, value, etc. more to respect it and not treat it just as a toy he can forget in the front yard LOL.
I just finished building my DIY onewheel. There is a great community for support and help for getting started. It cost me about $900 to build my onewheel. Its awesome, I see why people love their OW's so much.
Do you have videos, build instructions, or links? I would love to try this
Just under 3 thousand here in Canada ( taxes and shipping included ) . Still worth it. People are taken aback at the price alright, and they look at me ( I’m 63 ) and seem to think “ no fool like an old fool “ )
How are you still enjoying it if at all?
Lol. Loved the end of the video and love Kim’s convenience. Keep them coming. Great work.
i had mine for 12 months now winter here is wet so ive barely driven at all in those last 2 months. but still 1700 km later, and 120km om my gfs board i had to get her.. id say its deffently worth the money. its happiness on rails
Try to find an empty parking garage when the weather is wet. Great place to practice!
@@freshlycharged l think I found your next video topic
Good job on the video. I hope they get some direct competition soon 😁
Absolute best money I’ve ever spent hands down. Best purchase ever!
Great to hear!
Do you think FM will discontinue the XR? If they do…Do you think it’s worth keeping out XRs? What are your concerns for the future of the R? Love to see a video on your thoughts. Thanks
Yes. The XR is being discontinued.
@@freshlycharged what are your concerns for keeping the XR? I don’t want to sell mine.
@@scalerc4x4 I'm a year late to this party but here's my two cents. The bare minimum context is that I bought a used XR despite the GT already being on the market, while the pint X has the range and the torque to match an XR, but it's not the same due to size and the factors it affects. There are little to no concerns that come with keeping an XR vs buying the latest and greatest in my book. The reason for that is the amazing community surrounding the onewheel. The XR being completely modular ( and free of worrying about R2R, anti-consumer practices) can be maintained ad infinitum. Not to mention upgraded beyond the scope of futuremotion's current flagship through the use of Vesc, new motors, maybe even remote tilt shenanigans.
The only concern that may be a dealbreaker for some is that eventually, Future Motion will stop servicing the XR just as they did with the onewheel and the onewheel+ and some I don't fault consumers for feeling hesitant about keeping their XR's when the company ceases repair service. Having to rely on a smaller yet potent aftermarket (The Float Life, Stoke Life Service, etc.) for repairs I understand may turn some riders off. Ultimately, with the amount of community tied to the XR specifically, I feel confident in sticking with the product for the long haul. Hope you didn't sell your XR, float on my friend : )
This biased poll was taken from a biased userbase.
It is biased therefore it is true.
"Great works for me!"
Buys the pint because I'm broke*
Great video as always, Jimmy! I'm finally starting to save up for a Pint and am about halfway there!
Love your videos they’re all informative and pleasant to watch!🎥
Glad you like them! I think your comments are pleasant to read!
Jimmy Chang You’re the reason I bought a one wheel I purchase a pint though it’s was more affordable and I watched your video where you was showing how to ride for beginners and I’ve never fell off it took about 10-15 minutes but I got more comfortable riding just want to say thanks and keep the videos coming and to you and your family stay safe.🙏🏾
Thank you for all this info regarding renting the one wheel. I will be trying this to see if this is for me.
i bought my 2nd xr a month ago so i can ride with my girl when she is visiting :D
Hi Jimmy I'm from Nova Scotia Canada and just purchased it kingsong 16x. I love your videos and your family looks awesome. It's obvious to me that you are a family man. Being a Mormon, I'm wondering if you are also because this is the second video and which I have seen you practicing inside what appears to be a Mormon cultural Hall. Just wondering if this is correct? I'm hoping that after I get good enough, I can eventually take a trip to New York City and explore on my EUC. Thanks for all your videos and hard work.
Where now in 21 and still same price i am thanking very hard on this and likimg it more and more evertime i see it
I bought mine about a year and a half ago, and I don't care about the money I spent on it at all. The first time I went like 2 miles up some steep, STEEP hills where I used to live to get back home, I was literally cheering. I used to bomb those hills on my longboard, then take the rest of the day to walk back to the top of the hill. That first ride on my XR was the first day of the rest of my life.
Id love the qr but im afraid I would get it and a new version of the one-wheel will emerge with better everything.
He literally just said the creator of one wheel said no new mode is coming out any time soon lol
Should be getting mine Tuesday, cant wait to experience the stoke for myself.
Be safe. Hope you love it!
Stimulus check to good use
Wow I've never seen the pier that empty! (pre-quarantine) You guys must have been out there early. Great video Jimmy and yes I agree that the XR is worth the price. It's been the most exciting purchase I've ever made.
At 4:46, did you place a heart on the ground when you said love?? Or did you even not notice that?!? Haha WHAT GREAT TIMING!! Haha
I wish I could say I planned that Easter egg but everyone knows I'm not that clever. Nice catch!
Jimmy Chang yes! I wonder if anyone else noticed it haha. I’ve been debating whether to get a one wheel this month or not. As I have been on a skate board a handful of times. HOWEVER! I am a dancer. Maybe I can apply what I know in dance to a one wheel?
The xr is worth about 1300 while the pont should be around 600 bucks
I don't tell people I paid $1,800, at most I say it goes for over $1000 depending on model, and sometimes I just lie since I don't wanna get mugged
So true..ppl like taking other ppl stuff...or it ends up being resold for some crack.
I have thought exactly that when Im far from home lol... just some screws and a wheelbarrel wheel lollol
I use ASL and act like I can't hear if they seem sketchy, then I ride off while they are confused.
What celebrity did you meet? 😁
Finally a UA-camr who doesn't seem to be on Future Motion's payroll.
Honestly I think the outdated look alone makes it worthy of a price drop. I have been wanting something bigger than my pint but honestly paying almost twice what I paid for my pint doesn’t seem worth it for the few differences.
Yeah it's a lot of money, but it's fun as hell. Other hobbies are just as expensive. Building gaming pc's, having a gun collection, nice cars, building a home gym, grilling, etc.
Would you recommend the One Wheel for someone who has never rode on a skateboard or "hoverboard". The only kind of board I've rode on is a snowboard.
h33t I personally would recommend it to anybody who wants it. Even with very little experience with similar things, it’s pretty easy to learn how to ride in less than an hour, and it’s a ton of fun.
Nice content. Im new to this still, but ive been doing some research on these Onewheels. I just bought a new XR just recently for $2200 on the official website. It came with all the other accessories of course at a discounted rate.
I notice buying these types of transportation toys, theyre alot like cars; depreciation with the whole useage and miles that applies to it. Plus if people cant fork over $1800-$2200 for a new one, they have a reasonable payment plans/ monthly installments plans on their website so I personally dont know why people wouldnt buy new.
I understand buying used is good too, not against it myself, but i rather put on the miles myself, knowing if any issues arises, it would be from me versus from a previous owner. My friend who introduced The Onewheel to me bought his XR used for $750 in CA with 1000 miles.
Never been to NYC, so i always like watching! Thanks for sharing this video
I would buy a pint now and wait for the future xr.
Thats about 2 more years
i kinda wish for that price they would make a key fob for it but its easy to steal either way
I just ordered and finance an Onewheel XR on 5th, after trying my friends’ XR I think it worth it.
You still feel this way 4 months later?
@@headedwest89 Yes, it is totally worth it
The answer is all in the demand. With COVID keeping people at home with nothing to do answers the question. I sold my XR that I bought back in 2017 for $1600 for the same price. Good luck finding one at that price. its either 16 or 1700 or over 2k for a new one (shipped+tax).
Love your vids Jimmy Chang! Keep up the great work.
I think the price tag should stay but they should include what's supposed to be included in the first place! the fender! and to stay competitive w/ other electric vehicles, they should also include a faster charger which will probably solve distance anxiety problems for those who's out all day on these.
from a techie's rational point of view, i have to say that there is nothing to justify the rather boutique price price politics, other than being without any actual competition. quite possibly only due to hogging patents, and the market being too small for a chinese company to bother joining the party. as opposed to e-monowheels, where competition fosters innovation. (or 3D printing, that REALLY blew, up, when you could get the first chinese kits for under 200 bucks)
"worth it" is a very subjective and emotional PoV
on the topic of being outdated, there isnt that much potential for feature creep, other than making it more powerfull. so an "as opposed to" comparison to phones in particular is very accurate.
Great info - thanks!
Glad I watched to the end too :-)
Onewheel with a slice of Kimchee, totally stoked bro!
Key word is Future Motion. Why I’m buying one? It’s worth it! Zero issues!
"if all they did was carry you for 9 months..." Dude I'm dying over here 😂
Always great. Just picked up a used XR I'm loving it!
Congrats!
I order one last week. I immediately canceled my order and bought the pint instead. I realized that I’d be safer spending $950 on a more recent release over a $1800 on an older device more likely to be updated- plus I’m a super beginner with anything that rolls so I imagine I’d be safer (physically) with the pint. I’m looking forward to upgrade to an XR when I can
No nearly 2k is nuts. But I guess if they lower the price then they will fail like boosted is. The profit they are making is absurdly smart
The thing about boosted is that I started noticing that they were popping up everywhere. It seemed like everyone was making them and some people were able to make them themselves after they learned how simplistic the design was.
Where do u buy a used one ? eBay is expensive for used
The production cost without tire and foot sensor membrane the XR costs around 938USD According to recent leaks.
Source: few former FM employees.
Always amazing Jimmy! I'm thinking about maybe investing in EUCs next.
Even on eBay... they’re $1775 w/ $25 shipping used. A dollar more than brand new!! Granted they probably come with some accessories. I found a OneWheel + on Craigslist for $800 but meh
Thats a positive thing for me. Because if you get one and don't really like it or use it as much as you thought you can sell it and make back 95% of your money back
It’s no surprise the price doesn’t go down. Think of all the time and money they company has invested in engineering, design, machining costs, labor, etc. to come out with a product like no other. Until these boards are produced faster and sold more often, it’ll continue to be expensive. Not to mention it’s American made in California so it’ll be more. But for all of those reasons I’ll pay the price.
I love how the XR looks like it was built in a garage.
Yeah I mean used XR’s have been holding steady at 13-1400 generally with a couple of accessories.
What would you recommend one wheel xr or a V 11?
I came here trying to see if it was worth spending the money on one. But after 4 minutes I had to stop watching after hearing “one thousand, seven hundred and ninety nine dollars” for the 1,000th time. We know that’s how much it costs. You don’t need to repeat it every 19 seconds
Drink every time he says "one thousand, seven hundred and ninety nine dollars"
Thanks for posting!! I want one so badly!
It really depends where you live and what you're going to buy this for.If you live in a big city and you plan on using this as transportation then yeah it's probably a good buy. If you're like me however and live in the country and this thing won't even get you to the nearest supermarket then this is a massive waste of money.
If your gonna do 90 percent trails or ride it to work over 10 miles buy it Otherwise buy the pint or two of them. Pint is so much smoother and butter
Definitely look for used options first! Bought a Plus on ebay with only 12 miles on it for $1000 a little over a year ago. Was around the time the Pint released but I knew if I went with a new Pint it would have taken months to get it, and I needed a new ride fast since my bike got stolen and the semester hadn't ended yet. (Side note, maxed out my credit card for it anyways, but I still had 6 months of 0% APR and I managed to pay it all off within that time lol)
I’ll be honest. I’m waiting for the next gen of the xr. I just know as soon as I pull the trigger on one they’ll drop a week later and the new one will get announced a week after that. So I’m holding out. Would hate to drop 2k and a new one comes out.
I love mine as well. Also got it used. Saved about 500bucks.
That's the way to do it!
1,500 seems like a steady price. but for the elite bundle, it should be 1,800 other than 2,100
Well I'm biting the bullet today and have ordered an XR. Big fan JC and as always your videos are very informative and entertaining! I agree they should either drop the price and/or include some accessories with the XR purchase. You'd think they would at least incluse a T-Shirt for free advertising.
I saw a guy riding one at the beach today I was watching him like 👁 👄 👁
It’s worth it if you like it, it’s just not fast enough for me.
You clearly dont onewheel. Anyone who does knows eating shit at 20mph is plenty fast
I never tell strangers how much it costs. I am not shy to promote this hovering beauty, but I always tell people I paid too much.
People can only assume how much it costs, but I would rather they have to research it and actually see the versatility the price gives them.
That's just me. I also let anyone ride it. I just have to give them a quick 30 sec crash course.
Also, wtf! Buy a new OW! This guy is only trying to sell his old ow's.
Can you do a reboot on this in 2021??
You think people would be interested?
I can tell you I definitely would! Can’t believe I’m talking to the king himself! I’m either going to get the quart battery upgrade or the new onewheel, b if it’s going to be along time then I’m going with the new battery. Either way I’d love to see it!
@@JoeCaparo I have no inside info. Everything would be guessing at this point.
@@freshlycharged I know, but you’re smarter than a 14 yr old and I love your style of video
They need to come out with a new model.
Coming from the EUC world, it seems like way too much of a downgrade to be worth that much. However, for those that are interested in skateboards/snowboards, I'm sure it is well worth it due to the enjoyment they would get.
Now if we were talking about cost of parts, munufacturing time, software, etc. Then I believe the price could be brought down some for sure. Unless they are failing to improve their company/product by reducing manufacturing times, better/cheaper parts, etc.
Good video though, I'm sure it will help some people that are conflicted 👍
One thing that the Onewheel has over the EUCs is the stock app. It's pretty good and you can tell they have put a lot of thought and work into it.
@@freshlycharged very true! Apps from EUC manufacturers are pretty crappy lol. Third party apps still need improvement too.
Thanks you save me money with your review, keep it up.
In Australia, I bought my XR new for $2850 (March 2019). They are now being sold for $3695 here in Australia. Bit of a tough price hike 🤨, glad I bought mine when I did.
that is so much
What a cool dude Kimchi is! Seems like a great guy!
Great shots Jimmy 🤙 just ordered my second XR with stimulus money and keeping that stoke alive all 2020
Keep the stoke and economy going!
And sadly there i sno used market where I live, so I can only buy a used one if I don't feel the need to try it first. And I do feel it's quite important to try it before you buy a used XR. So that leaves the only option to buy a new one for €1999 Dx. And I do already have a Pint Sage but I the need of the extended range and something with more stability for longer rides.
