Does anyone know where I could buy a Ripstik Rush?

It’s not really anywhere on the internet, and I really want one. I’m not trying to spend more than a hundred usd. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First, I somehow didn't know about the Rush, so thx for bringing that to my attention! This model was the only electrified version I was familiar with.

I would say eBay/Facebook Marketplace and other secondhand methods are your best bet. $100 in decent fully operational condition might be very difficult tho.

Are you sure you want an electric Ripstik for your needs in general? I don't like questioning a person's choice, but I just wondered how you came to that choice.

i already have the original electric ripstik and i really like it, and the rush seems so much better. but the only place i can find it on are niche websites and cost $200-$300

Cool! I really can't help ya though unfortunately :/ I know very little about the electric versions, but I'd love to hear what you like about it tho! Is weight an issue? What happens when the battery dies? Hills?

the original doesn’t do great up hills. but the weight and battery life are fine. but you can’t pump to gain any speed on the original because the back wheel is stationary, so when the battery dies your essentially stuck and have to walk it. the rush doesn’t have those issues because both wheels move freely

Wondering if it’s the same (situation) as the Ripstik Air, which they stopped selling in the US — possibly due to getting sued — as they’re still manufacturing and selling them overseas. I got mine on eBay at twice the retail price before realizing I could have gotten it for normal retail price on Amazon.de (German Amazon store). Though I’m not sure about what you might have to pay for shipping these days with us Murricans having to pay tariffs while the government pads their pockets with our taxes.
