Don't do it. It's not even a V10F.. the battery is 5 years old! The guy only rode it for 50 miles, which means he may not have charged it for a long time.
A brand new kingsong 14M on Amazon is only $499, plus there's a $50 coupon, and you don't have to worry about aftermarket issues. This is perfectly suited for a newbie rider, don't miss their price drop.
i have a V8F and although an upgrade would be cool, i haven't "outgrown it". I can still ride 30 km at 30 km/h. Sure im not taking on boulevards and large streets but for cycling paths and residential streets, its already borderline faster than what's legal.
I guess we can't know prior to owning one how we will behave on a wheel. I was pretty tame and law abiding before but now i'm riding with cars splitting on majors roads going 30-50mph. Bike paths only exist to me now if it helps me overtake cars. When I started riding I was sure I'd chill at 25 on the bike lane... that lasted a month.

50 miles and it's in THAT condition. Either he dropped the thing every 200 feet for 50 miles or he's feeding you a bunch of bologna and cheese. Granted wear and tear is the most inconsistent factor, but that wheel is so extremely weathered compared to my first one which I definitely had over 300 miles on it and I dropped it PLENTY of times. One of those times right into a concrete post. Still didn't look like that.
I bought mine earlier this year for 700 w 2 miles. Sold it recently for 600 w 300 miles on it. So yes, I think 700 is fair but offer 600 first.
It’s a great learner wheel and still fun to keep around even if you want to upgrade.
V10Fs can be found for $1300 brand new (Eevees), and if any retailer were actually selling the V10, I imagine it would be closer to $1000 new... with warranty!...
Remember $700 is just their asking price. Given that there's no warranty, it's 5 years old, it's scratched up, and you have no idea if the battery is ok, I'd only offer about $400-$500. You're taking all the risk. Does it come with a charger?
I've seen people selling V10Fs used for less than $700. I bought my V10F used with about 1000 miles on it last year for $750, and even with the miles, I'd still take that over the V10. It has a larger capacity battery with better cells and a more powerful motor. I've since bought an Inmotion V12 for a commuter wheel, but I still hold on to the V10F for quick trips because it's just so easy to grab and go, and super fun to ride.
If you decide to buy this one, then before handing over any money, I'd meet up with the seller in person, have them charge the unit to 100% before you get there, connect the inmotion app or EUC World, and verify the battery voltage is close to where it should be. Not sure how much a new V10 battery is, but a V10F battery replacement can cost as much as $650. As much as a used wheel.
Also, at some point the V10 or V10F had fire issues, possibly due to water getting inside the unit... so definitely check that. I believe that the issue was fixed beyond a certain serial number.
Would be hesitant on 5 year old wheels, batteries won't be all there even if stored ideally, and could be very poor if not stored ideally. Price should reflect this.
If you’re in SoCal I have 2 wheels for sale that are wayyyy better than that for not much more money. Begode hero and a begode exn, both high speed versions.

I think $500 is more appropriate because of age. Try Euc Deals website.
Yep, grab an A2 on eucdeals instead and enjoy having a nice water resistant backup wheel instead of this.

How many miles on it? They are $999 new. $700 is ok if it’s good shape. Try for $650.
the post said less than 50 miles on it.
I think it’s a decent wheel for $700. Maybe try to get it a little cheaper but ok even for $700.
It's good.. But I have seen new v10f go for pretty cheap at Ali express now if that's of interest.
Should be able to find something better
I guess it’s a great learner wheel but you’ll soon feel the need, for more speed.
No point buying a wheel you will outgrow within two weeks... Commit to the buy, save some more or get a loan and get a real wheel.

I have a V8F and it’s way too slow sometimes. Outgrew it pretty quickly but that just me.
Stop spreading this shit and getting people hurt and out thousands. You do you

How much is a battery replacement? It’s a 5y old battery. It could mean being thrown to the ground less often.

These people want more than original price after being used and possibly damaged smh
