    So, I am super close to placing my order for a ow and just found a local store that sells them as a distributor. So I can order from fm for 1499 + 50 shipping and wait 6 weeks. Or I can buy now for 1499, save shipping, BUT pay 140 in tax. So $90 difference.... After writing this out it is evidence that I am a cheapskate.

    I'd spend the time doing yoga, practicing your balance, research batteries, protective gear, look at the newbie guides and learn from others mistakes. 6 weeks will fly by! It's almost a necessary hazing.

    Purchase it immediately. The wait is torturous.

    If FM was like "hey dude. Give us $90 and we'll give you your OneWheel today (I ordered about a week ago), I would throw money at them.

    THE WAIT IS HORRIBLE!! But worth it

    Don't wait. I ordered mine from FM and then found someone selling it on the forums a day later. Cancelled my FM order and was riding the next day. Fuck waiting. You could be dead by the time 6 weeks rolls by.
