There is little money, but you want to ride: how to buy a top bike or a monowheel and not go broke

Bicycles

If you don't have enough money. Take your time buying the infamous bicycles from hypermarkets and convenience stores. This technique has initially low-quality components. Better to look for Avito. For example, we found a model from the Forward brand - a bike on the move, it went through MOT, the brakes were debugged, all the components were lubricated. The kit comes with a bunch of gadgets: bike lock, flashlight, horn. All the pleasure for 5 thousand rubles, so it is not surprising that the bike was quickly bought.

Hit of the past. The legendary mountain hybrid Merida Crossway 20-D is suitable for intensive driving in cities and villages. The 2019 model costs 30-35 thousand in stores. If you look for an older option, then you can find an offer for 18 thousand. The bike is in good condition. And modifications of one model from different years usually do not differ much, except in details.

Top. Among Avito there is a mountain bike of 2018 Cube Acid 29 for 53 thousand rubles. Our version is equipped with professional equipment, has fresh tires and a mileage of 800 km. The price for such a model in stores is now around 67 thousand rubles.

There are verified sellers on Avito. You can determine them by the rating and reviews that buyers leave after the transaction is closed. If the seller has a lot of stars and positive reviews, it is unlikely that he will sell junk.

Electric scooters

If you don't have enough money. For home-metro-office trips, for example, the Kugoo S3 workhorse is suitable. These are often found in rental services. The average price of a new scooter is 13 thousand rubles. However, there is a more interesting option on Avito: Kugoo S3 Pro for 9,995 rubles - it has improved wheels and shock absorbers, so it is not afraid of bad roads. A scooter without run, included once upon purchase. There is a receipt, so the warranty should be in place too.

Hit of the past. The bestseller Xiaomi Mijia M365 costs from 22 thousand rubles today. Covers 30-40 km on a single charge, folds comfortably, won 28 design awards. After riding for only a month, a person sells a scooter on Avito for 6 thousand rubles cheaper.

Top. The Dualtron Ultra 2 off-road electric scooter with air suspension can reach speeds of up to 85 km / h. A model with a mileage of 3,300 km is sold in Novoperedelkino for a third cheaper than the store price, for only 105 thousand rubles. The owner mentioned the steering play. Perhaps, upon examination, there will be other flaws and it will come out to bring down the price.

If the necessary thing was found in another city or you simply do not have time to go and watch, you can arrange delivery from Avito and pay for the goods by card. Check your purchase upon receipt. If something is wrong, you can refuse. Then the money will be returned to the card, and Avito will send the goods to the seller at his own expense.

Hoverboards

If money is running out. on Avito it is full. You can take Wheel 6.5 from Smart Balance - with a bright, comic design and built-in speakers. Just right to leave the premiere of the next "Avengers". For a used hoverboard for a couple of days, you will have to pay 4,700 rubles, and for a new one - 6-7 thousand.

Hit of the past. The Xiaomi Ninebot Mini is not exactly a gyro scooter - rather, a mini segway with a control stick that squeezes between the knees. High-quality assembly, a lot of useful options like remote control from a smartphone, cross-country ability of the "SUV" and "adult" look made Xiaomi Ninebot Mini a hit among hoverboards. With mileage, it costs 11,500 rubles, and a new one is twice as expensive.

Top. Among them you can find an SUV with a powerful engine and a reinforced frame Hoverbot C-3 Premium. A new one is sold for 25-30 thousand, while a used one with a mileage of 500 meters costs 19 thousand. The reason for the sale - the child rolled once and forgot.

Monowheels

If money is running out. Redmond RUC-01 is not at all a multicooker with a motor, as you might think. The device travels 20 km without recharging, develops a speed of up to 16 km / h and is definitely worth its 18 thousand. On Avito they sell for 10-11 thousand.

Hit of the past. The futuristic design of the InMotion V8 monowheel seems to be inspired by the Tron or Blade Runner universe. The leader among monowheels in terms of price-quality ratio. It develops a speed of up to 30 km / h, drives 50 km on a single charge and is powered for only 4 hours. The wheel is stable, withstands the rider up to 120 kg, and itself weighs only 13.6 kg. The price of the new InMotion V8 hovers around 55 thousand rubles. On Avito you can buy for 43 thousand, and with a guarantee and scanty mileage.

Top. The KingSong KS-16S has a top speed of 35 km / h, a diameter of 16 inches, an acceptable weight of 17 kg and a range of 75 km. Corresponding price: 60-70 thousand. You can take a used one with 678 km mileage, scuffs and chips, but in fully working condition for 48 thousand.

Great, but it's dangerous to take used ones. You never know what

Not really. As you can see from the ads, people sell things for a variety of reasons:

there was money for a new model, so the old one is not needed;
circumstances have changed, and the thing is just gathering dust on the balcony;
the size did not fit (bicycle frame, for example);
tried it and didn’t like it;
money was needed and so on.

In addition, buying used things from your hands has cool advantages:

it is always cheaper than in a store, even if the product was not taken out of the box;
you can bargain, especially if you find the slightest flaw, at least a rust stain or a scratch;
Often accessories and spare parts that the owner bought separately are attached to the equipment with a trailer.
