I also had an XR. Put 200 miles on it with a number of close calls then a big fall. It was starting up the street in front of my old place which has a decent incline. Thing just stopped and I went into the concrete.
I raced ski team in high school and have done a lot of risk sports stuff. But I had seen enough videos and read enough stories before I bought the board. So I was padded up at knees, elbows and helmet when it happened.
I still took a major blow to the shoulder that I had to get X-rays for and sustained surface injuries that still bears scars. I also have an ankle injury from a run-off save prior from a nose dive prior to that fall.
I decided then that I was selling the board because I had too much important stuff that summer to look forward to, and that I was not likely to get to enjoy it if I kept using that product.
Like others in this thread, I contacted the company about the nosedive, explaining my injury and concern that the product could not be ridden safely. I asked if they would please consider taking the product back.
They ignored my injury, and information provided about the fall. Instead they made a point it highlight the high resale value of the product and that I should do that.
The company has a class action suit in some status of pending. I have read more than enough about this company’s behavior since to be watching and waiting for what seems inevitable. I am expecting my own exchange may make it into discovery.
