OneWheel XR

12 December 2021, 18:04 UTC

Hi….I’m hoping someone here can help me. My husband purchased a OneWheel XR awhile back. On Nov. 7, he took it out (without a helmet) and crashed badly. He suffered traumatic brain injury, was in the hospital for a month, and just got moved to a rehab facility. I would like to sell it before he comes home, however I have no idea what would be a reasonable price to ask for a used XR. He bought quite a few accessories as well. Please provide some insight if you can….or if anyone is interested in purchasing, we can chat about that too. Thank you!

@tlkrgr , I am so sorry to hear the heartache you've been through.
As for selling, you might consider trying craigslist.org to reach local readers.

use the geographical region closes to you
use Craigslist's feature to hide your email address (use their email relay)
brush up your skills on recognizing scam offers
prepare yourself to meet the buyer in a public location; engage a friend to join you for the exchange
perhaps ask for "cash" or trusted e-payment method (one that you already know how to use and trust)
avoid shipping the board unless you are comfortable with shipping concerns and risks?

The price might be close to $1200-1400 depending on the added accessories? (I'm guessing he might have purchased a fender, rail guards, hyper charger, etc -- these might transfer as "free" while using a bundle price close the current retail price of the board alone.)

My husband and I will be praying for your husband's recovery and your wisdom! {{ HUGS }}

Hi @tlkrgr, I sympathize, too. Except for the helmet I might be just like your husband. Most falls come by surprise.

@tlkrgr Sorry to hear your husband suffered an injury. I hope he recovers and you both stay well during this time <3
HorsePlay's advice is spot on, selling local and in person for these sorts of thing is ideal.

@tlkrgr , I got a "wild" idea ... not sure if it is worth following but I leave that to your judgement.

What about asking an equipment rental company if they might purchase the board from you? (I'd consider this a safe transaction for you?)

I don't know of many rental sources ... but here are two that have earned good comments:

SUPrents, US-Nationwide. Website: https://suprents.com
SDOneWheel, San Diego, CA. Website: https://sdonewheel.com

Perhaps one of these might help you find a dealer near you?
