    • Looking for advice for DIYing accessories

      So I just got my XR, and I see that the accessories seem pretty overpriced for how simple most of them are. Being the cheapskate I am, and especially having just spent $1700 (floor model at skate shop, only 24 miles, got sick of waiting for a deal lol) on the Onewheel, I plan to build my own of the following: fender, guard rails, float plates, and concave rear foot pad.

      Who else has DIYed any of these? My main questions are:

      1. What type of plastic do they use for the float plates to get them to slide properly?
      2. Is there anything special about the concave rear foot pads that makes them work with the XR's sensors, or are they just normal wood/plastic/griptape?
      3. What size screws are used for each of these mounts?

      Any other advice is also greatly appreciated.

      @mustugio11 Wow, that's a great deal! Thanks for the advice. I hadn't considered making a lowball offer on EBay. Good idea.

    • RE: Why buy Used?

      Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I joined the Boston FB group. Seems like people sell them on there fairly frequently.

      2 questions, though:

      If I buy someone's recently purchased, lightly used XR, would I not be able to transfer the warranty over to me?

      And isn't the firmware upgradeable to the current version?

    • RE: Why buy Used?

      @Motoproponent Maybe you are in an area where they are more popular. In Boston they are pretty rare still. I haven't seen any on Craigslist so far. I haven't really checked FB marketplace though. On EBay they seem to start below $1500, but by the time the auction ends, the ones I have seen are all above $1700.

      I guess it's a good sign that the resell value is so high. That way I won't lose much if I buy new and end up not liking it.

      I assumed the warranty would be transferable for used XRs, though. Is this not the case?

    • Why buy Used?

      I've been thinking about grabbing a Onewheel+ XR, and I wanted to find a used one to save money. I assumed there would be plenty of turnover because of people doing too much too fast and getting injured. But when I look at eBay, pretty much all of the auctions end up in the $1750+ range, even for beat up looking ones without much description or mileage listed (literally just saying "condition is used" sometimes, with 2 low quality photos). Why would anyone buy a used XR for that much, when it is $1800 new (tax, I know, makes it ~$100 more, but still)? Is saving a hundred bucks worth not knowing it is in perfect condition? This seems insane to me. IMO it would have to be less than $1500 and in great condition to make me even consider buying used. Who are these people bidding the price up to damn-near retail numbers?
