If you're ready to buy a Onewheel, you have a few different options: buy new, save some money with an open-box board, or look for a used Onewheel.
I've been selling and renting Onewheels through SUPrents since 2017, and I've talked with a lot of riders trying to figure out which route makes the most sense. There isn't one right answer for everyone.
Here's what I'd consider before buying.
Where Can You Buy a Onewheel?
There are generally three ways to buy a Onewheel:
Buy new if you want a brand-new board, full manufacturer warranty and the least uncertainty.
Buy open-box if you're looking to save money while still getting a board that's essentially new.
Buy used if getting the lowest possible price matters most and you're comfortable with a board that has already been ridden.
At SUPrents, we sell all three. Our used inventory tends to be limited, but we also offer discounted open-box Onewheels.
Buying a New Onewheel
For a lot of riders, especially first-time Onewheel owners, buying new is the simplest option.
You know exactly what you're getting, you receive the full manufacturer warranty, and you don't have to wonder how the board was treated by a previous owner.
At SUPrents, there's another advantage to buying new: qualifying new Onewheels include our 7-Day Demo.
We send you a brand-new Onewheel and your seven days begin when it's delivered. Ride it. Get comfortable on it. See if you like it.
If you love it, keep it and there's nothing else you need to do.
Worst case you find out it’s not for you and instead of being out the full price of the board, you’re out the demo fee. Hopefully you still had some fun during the 7-days. If that’s the case, contact us during your demo period and we'll send you a prepaid UPS return label. A model-specific demo fee and any other applicable charges are deducted from your refund.
For someone spending $1,000–$3,500+ on a Onewheel, it’s nice to actually ride a board, before being fully committed.

Buying an Open-Box Onewheel
This is one of the options I recommend most to people looking to buy a Onewheel, but also looking to save a few bucks.
SUPrents open-box Onewheels have less than one mile, include the full manufacturer warranty, and are priced below our new boards. They are boards that have generally been displayed or used for taking photos.
There's one important difference: open-box Onewheels are final sale and do not include our 7-Day Demo.
I recommend the open-box option for someone who already knows which Onewheel they want and would rather take the savings than have the flexibility of the demo.
Buying a Used Onewheel
A used Onewheel can be another way to save, but there's more to consider.
Mileage is only part of the story. I'd also want to know how the board was ridden, how it was stored, whether it has been exposed to water, what condition the tire and footpads are in, and whether it has been modified or repaired.
The other major consideration is warranty.
Unlike our new and open-box Onewheels, used Onewheels sold by SUPrents do not include a manufacturer warranty.
That doesn't automatically make buying used a bad idea. A well-cared-for used board at the right price can be a great purchase. You just need to understand that you're accepting more uncertainty in exchange for the lower price.
Our used inventory is usually pretty limited, but when we have one available, you'll find it alongside our open-box inventory.

Don't Forget About Shipping and Sales Tax
The advertised price isn't always the final amount you'll pay.
SUPrents offers free Onewheel shipping throughout the lower 48, so there isn't an additional shipping charge added to your Onewheel order.
SUPrents also does not collect sales tax on orders shipped outside *Washington State. Depending on the price of the Onewheel and where you live, that can make a meaningful difference in the amount charged at checkout.
*Customers may have tax obligations in their state.
When comparing where to buy, I'd look at the total checkout price, not just the advertised price of the board.
Which Onewheel Should You Buy?
Once you've decided how you want to buy, the next question is usually which Onewheel to get.
The lineup covers a pretty wide range now. Some riders want something smaller and easier to carry. Others want range, trail capability, speed or maximum performance.
If you're still figuring that part out, I've put together a separate guide comparing the different models:

You can also call or text if you'd rather talk it through. Sometimes a five-minute conversation is easier than reading another five comparison articles.
