So what is the real value of the earlybird Pioneer Collective deal?
-
Silver Member:
Pioneer Badge and chance to win trip to Onewheel HQ: $0
Shipping (Continental US): $50
Total savings if purchased by Jan 31: $50
CONCLUSION - After Jan 31, Future Motion intends to start charging $50 for shipping. They have been shipping for free for a long time, so this is to be believed when seen.Gold Member:
Pioneer Badge and chance to win trip to Onewheel HQ: $0
Shipping (Continental US): $50
Fender and bumpers: $129.25
15% off Mafia Onewheel Bag: $33.75
Total savings if purchased by Jan 9: $213
CONCLUSION - Shipping has been free for a long time, and you may not want to drop another $200 (after tax) on the bag. Most shops include the fender for free anyway, so the real overall saving is $38.69 (before tax) for the bumpers.Founding Member:
Pioneer Badge and chance to win trip to Onewheel HQ: $0
Shipping (Continental US): $50
Fender and bumpers: $129.25
25% off Mafia Onewheel Bag: $56.25
One year additional warranty: $249.50
Total savings if purchased by Jan 6: $485
CONCLUSION - So the additional year of warranty is estimated at $250! + $38.69 (before tax) for the bumpers (per Silver Member level).Will Future Motion be offering extended warranty option for people to buy at $250 / extra 17% of the purchase price?
Why didn't they just throw in the bag instead of a 25% off for the Founding Member level? Even after 25% off, the bag is still super premium priced $168.75 (before tax). Too bad.

I am disappointed about the cost of the bag as well. Even with superior materials, it's still an insane mark-up for something just because it is purpose built for the OneWheel. As far as I can tell, there are plenty of viable options for $50 or less.

I would never buy a bag. This thing is meant to be ridden. Not carried. And ref shipping, for those of us lucky enough to have an authorized dealer near us...it's a non issue. You can also prob buy on Amazon and get free shipping. I imagine their direct sales are going to suffer once people figure out their are still free shipping options....
On that note...any updates on the batteries or weight of the "+"?
