My thought measure on these things:
The new V1 footpads are a museum piece -- and as such would be up for one-of-a-kind negotiation with an entry level 'bid' of the price of any Onewheel sensor footpads, which I think is about $150.
The new V1 bumpers are more common, as an extra set came in the original box. $25-$35
The cheapest Onewheel motor I ever remember seeing was $150, and the rim was trashed! I am guessing that even with high mileage a good working V1 motor could fetch $200-$250 or more.
The motor comparison is interesting. The same hubs, or rotors, right? The same new bearings and installation costs. So, no matter what those costs were, they negate each other. In this case the SAME skilled rider/repair did both installations. The stator is the difference.
If the motor with the damaged/scored stator lasts the couple thousand Greenway miles that a titan in the Onewheel repair community says it should -- that's about time for a bearing change anyway. With that next bearing change would also come a stator change.
Stators from XRs should become plentiful and relatively inexpensive as riders use their XR hubs to replace GT hubs in order to use XR tires. A highly respected rider and Onewheel community analyst commented on Facebook that XR stators would probably soon be selling in the $100-$150 range.
So, how many more bearing changes would the XR motor with the non-scored, non-damaged stator be good for? Five? Ten? Twenty? As many as gets the board to the XR mileage Leaderboard?
If that good stator cost $150 and is projected to last at least ten times longer than the scored stator, then the scored stator is worth maybe $15 or less. Which means that the difference in price between the two motors based solely on the hardware should be at least $135 -- but not really more than $150.
In my opinion then, in a trade of the XR motor with new bearings and the SCORED/DAMAGED stator for an XR motor with new bearings and a non-scored GOOD stator, the value of the new footpads and bumpers alone should cover the value difference between the two motors. The extra V1 motor should not be needed to be included in the trade.
The situation is this: The same rider/repair who installed both sets of bearings desires the pristine V1 footpads in my possession, while I desire a worry-free, clearly good XR motor. He thinks I should include the V1 motor in the trade deal on top of the footpads and bumpers; I think not. Again, I want to trade back to him a motor he worked on in exchange for another he worked on, with the V1 footpads and bumpers making up the difference.
What do you think -- if you got this far?
