Do You Plan to Buy a OW+

4 January 2017, 20:48 UTC

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.

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.

@thegreck that's true! I was hoping they were available right away so I could avoid shipping and customs since I'll be in AZ in a 2 weeks.

@thegreck ok, if the lawyers are going to start writing the advertising then it would have been more like this.

Find out the over branded incrimental improvements primarily stolen from ideas on the forum for which we take no part in and pay back no bonus to... on January 4" which we "say" will ship "feb" 4th but really who knows. We have also set up a random set of completely arbitrarily priced "incentives" and boyscout merit badges to get you to sign up sooner. We are very excited about the new marketing staff/ and or Firm we hired because they have left no square inch of the unit unbranded/ technology Unspecilized. And are commercials are so amped up. :)

Good luck with our new products, we aren't liable for shit. Have a nice day.

@Aaron-Broward-FL I was confused about the marketing too at first as there are a lot of concepts in play. First you have the levels of purchase value/time then there is the whole Pioneer Collective which at first glance you think these concepts are tied together tightly but and they are but it took a while for me to find and focus on the grid to understand that is pricing where the pioneer thing is just a fun contest.

In the end I feel the specials and pricing are clear cut, understandable, and good. If I were to critique the marketing I'd say they needed to advertise the pioneer collective under the tier grid rather than be a competing main thought though I do think it draws interest even if it jumbles the message.

And what about a special pack"kickstarter baker campain" to reward people thanks to whom this dream came true !
Kickstarter bakers are the real pioneers...and Yes I'm jealous for a moment :)

I don't think they will ever do a black color Onewheel because that was a limited edition thing through Kickstarter and you had to pay extra to do it. I ordered the Onewheel+ just because I look at the Onewheel as more than just a toy. Plus now that I will have 2, I can now have another person riding along on my limited edition one. I don't plan on selling my old one either because its kind of special to me, I mean technically it was what started Future Motion and Onewheel.

cannot afford another onewheel unfortunately... even if I could find a buyer for my V1.

Was really hoping to get the new footpads, but I read here that they are not compatible...

@Aaron-Broward-FL

Many companies pull off a successful kickstarter campaign and fail to sustain later on.
You think it's easy building a product in the States and make profit?
They're offering a newer and improved OW for the same price with bunch of goodies if you order now. What's wrong with that?
This is a great deal for those who were on the fence and never owned a OW.
I sure was tempted for the deal but I find my OW still has plenty of fun left and will save the best for last.
For those who bought a V1 not long ago, happens all the time.
Just upgraded my PC couple months ago and the price went down $200 a week later.
Same with cell phones and other products.
If you're gonna wait for the latest, you'll be missing out on a lot of things.
heck, technology is moving so fast, we could barely keep up with it.
Rant over.

@tm1nor
Welcome to the OW family.....

@tm1nor it's not as bad as some make it out to be. As long as you take your time and get the hang of riding and what pushback feels like you will be fine. Within a week I barely noticed pushback anymore and now can push well past it without any problem.

@LidPhones thank you, i am so excited
