Kamber Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Recently got my first wheel alongside a buddy of mine who lives nearby and we have been having fun learning how to ride. Looking to buy a second-hand beginner friendly wheel for my wife to learn on as she's keen on joining the fun! The wheels that my friend and I have are both a bit too heavy and intimidating for her, so I'm ideally looking for something 50lbs or less and in the $500-$800 range. Something like an InMotion V8S would be awesome! Let me know if anyone has anything suitable available! I'm located in the NJ/NY area, but can easily take care of shipping and provide a shipping label. All that would be needed on your end would be to package the wheel up securely in a box, slap the shipping label on there, and drop it off at a UPS or hand it to your UPS delivery driver when they come around.

Drew Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I have an MTEN 4 with like 15 miles on it. It’s super small and about 28 pounds. $700 and it’s yours. It’s super stable under 20mph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamber Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 Thanks Drew, I appreciate the offer. While super small and portable, thinking the MTEN4 might be too squirrely and harder to control/learn on than something like a lower-powered beginner friendly 16" wheel. Will keep it mind and let you know if we don't find anything else, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it’s so small and not intimidating, it’s a good wheel for kids or adults to learn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The light weight is definitely a huge plus, but am mostly worried about the short height making it rather uncomfortable or harder to leverage since the wheel may be digging into the shins as opposed to the calves or higher on the leg. How did you find it in that respect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you find it in that respect? Yeah there are pros/cons to every wheel. The V8 is a good wheel to learn but it has a very skinny tire so it’s not for me. Regarding the wheel digging into shins is valid. After a mile or two, I used velcro and put a 5” by 1” piece of foam across the top which solved it.

JRS051293 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I have an early model v12 in Massachusetts I'd sell for 1500 open to negotiate.. less than 300 miles total and been dumped once but no major damage beyond a headlight adjacent frame crack. Works splendidly as a beginner model with a large tire and adjustable pedal height, the best model to grow into.. adjustable speed limiter and led are potent as well. DM for more info.

This would be my first wheel; I took a lesson on some 16 inch one (I forget) a few months ago but life happened and still haven’t bought one. Curious why you’re selling so soon after purchasing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamber Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Got what I was looking for, thanks all! Added a V11 and MTEN4 to the stable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an MTen3 selling for $675. It is an 84 volt 512 Wh wheel. It has 111 miles. It also has a trolley handle. I have it listed on this forum. I am in NJ.
