From what I can see so far, the resale market is pretty high still. Granted they haven’t been selling them for 50 years like the conventional bikes, but I thought that there might be a decent percentage of buyers who just didn’t like them and wanted to dump them after 6 months or a year.

Probably another year or two. There's one floating around on FB for $4k that needs a battery, so one could probably get a functional bike under $7k.

My buddy has one that is bricked right now after an update, not taking charge now. He thinks it needs a new battery and he said it's about 5k canadian. not sure if true or not.

People don’t typically dump a bike that is 6 months to a year old for half price, but I’m waiting as my son is really interested.  Can’t justify paying much more than half price right now as it’ll sit quite a bit due to his busy schedule.

IMG 4412 9IMG 3615 12I have one of mine for sale right now. It's a 2024 with about 24 hrs 19" rear wheel with footbrake. I bought two new at the same time. I did that to solve the range problem, burn one down and just jump on the other. I realized if I charge it between motos on my regular 110v motorhome genie I have plenty of power to make it through the day. I raced the Vet MX in Boise in September. 2 day event: Saturday is 1-15 minute practice session and 3-20 minute motos Sunday is 1-15 minute practice session and 2-20 minute motos. I was never low on battery life as long as I charge after each session or moto. So I realized I don't need two. IMG 6665 1

My internet keeps locking up and couldn't post more pics. It's the red one. I am asking $8,000. I've had offers in the $7600 range. But they are marketplace offers aka retardville...

Buyers not liking them probably isn’t going to happen, it is the best bike out there right now. It is a ton of fun. That being said ill sell you mine so I can go buy a new one haha.

On France largest website for second hand (Leboncoin) I see guys willing to sell their 25 or 26 450s for 7k€ or trading it against a Varg, haven't seen the other way round much at all.

8 Vargs at 7k€ at the moment. Typically they're 1.0 (6.5 kWh), 50 to 100 h, still under warranty There are about 30 more between 7 and 8k€ with low hours. MX1.2 (7.2 kWh) offers start right after 8k€, I think 1k€ more for the MX1.2 is reasonable.
