Used V1 questions
-
Hello,
I am new and looking to buy a used OW, to lessen the sticker shock for my wife. Locally someone is selling a used V1 for a lil under $700. It looks in great condition in pictures, and I am going to test ride it tomorrow. What should I be looking for, Battey life, miles, etc? Is any of this tracked with the V1? They are the original owners. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Download the app and connect it to the board and it will show you the total mileage. Ask if it’s ever gotten wet or been ridden on the beach.

@Rado thanks for the tip. Anything else I should be checking for?

Not really. If it works than it’s probably fine.

@cathalin have you ever ridden one before? I test rode a + model once for about 10 minutes and new instantly I wanted one. Hopefully the wifey loves it too and you can get another one and ride together.

@tomfoolery that is kinda the same story for me. We rode them at Kaaboo last month, and I have been pushing to get one ever since. I ended up getting the V1 yesterday, (only 59 miles on it according to odometer) with the hope that this one will be wife's someday, and I will have an XR. All good so far.

I bought a V1 on eBay for $700, it had 500 miles. I have put 300 miles on it, the battery life is excellent (if I ride slowly without pushback I can go for 10 miles) and I even took it to Burning Man where it was covered in dust and it still works great.
You may end up buying a bad one though. It's a risk and I got lucky.

@cathalin @SkydiveJesus glad you guys didn’t get a lemon. Happy floating. I’ll be there some day.
