Do You Plan to Buy a OW+
-
yup. Just ordered mine. Affirm is dangerous. Makes it too easy. ROFL.
-
So, this makes more sense. They factored in the value of the "Freebies" to the said retail price. The price of the new board looks to be at $1549 after the pre-sale, but the longer you wait to order the less freebies you get and therefore the less value for the money spent. I'm cool with that.
Here's the link with the break-down.
-
@T-CAT all of you guys are reading this incorrectly. The board is the same price, they were throwing in free extras now that give you a 400 and something dollar value. If you were to buy the same set up after 48 hours it would be worth the other price.
-
@Seekwence Hey man I feel you.... I bought my OW less than 2 weeks before the December sale last month! So, I lost a couple hundred there. Then, my board has bad footpads and will run away. But they are backordered until middle of this month. So, I paid too much, and won't be able to ride the thing until I could nearly have a V2 for the original price!
-
One third of the people are complaining that they don't think the difference makes it worth purchasing because it's not the changes they personally wanted, one third say Future Motion screwed over everyone who just ordered a new board, and one third say hell yeah this looks sweet and ordered one.
-
My current onewheel is fast enough. I just hope the new foot pads will be backward compatible. I'd be nice to get excited about the new design without having to spend so much.

@MichaelW hmmm this is where I got my info https://onewheel.com/blogs/crew/onewheel-pioneers-collective-join-now
Yep, look at the Silver Member column. Retail value of board, badge, contest entry and free shipping is $1549. So the board must retail at $1499.
I was hoping for more range and hill climbing ability for Hilly Seattle. :-( My Evolve Bamboo GT electric skateboard is supposed to get 12 miles of range and I get barely 5 miles with these hills. So I bet it'd be just 2 or 3 miles for the OW+ if it can get up the really steep hills.
Oops. thegreck said the same thing earlier.
-
I think I have to order a OW+, whether I want to spend the money or not.... If the coolest thing I own just got way better, I think I have to be all-in!
-
Ordered mine this AM. Having it sent to the office so my girlfriend doesn't see it and throttle me. ;-)
-
@sonny123 Totally agree! I currently have 2 OW's may sell 1 to get a V2

Now that's an idea! But then my wife would ask me why the credit card got denied.
-
Already did. Stoke.
-
I'll admit after I decided to buy today I "told my wife" I was going to buy one. She asked the cost and said "okay". She was then all proud of herself for being an awesome supporting wife. I'll give that to her:)
-
@Franky Yes my wife was also very supportive. Of my first Onewheel. Not so sure what she'd say about a second one.
-
After watching the video im like WOW.. wow.. i was getting goosebumps and little adrenaline feels just thinking about it.. OMG I have to get one of these.. there is no question!
Im fkn getting one! Sadly I live in NZ so no affirm option for me.. will have to save my $ and pay full price..
-
I'm not _planning to buy a OW+, because I just bought one - lol. Took about 5 seconds to decide. Why wouldn't I want a better version of my favorite toy? And, I'll have my original for my friends to ride along - even better!
-
@awakekiwi Shipping overseas is expensive. To Japan it's $350 shipping, plus $300 import fees - yikes! Last time I bought one, I timed it with a trip to the US, and just brought it back in my checked luggage for free. :-)

Any word on when theses are actually available?
Edit: I see on the FM site it says shipping Feb 2017.

@CABALLERO Interesting that their first ad said "Next Level Coming January 4th." It should've said "Find out about the next level which isn't coming until February on January 4th."
Just not quite as catchy.
