Oh, I probably should have added that I did not learn on this wheel first, I did most my learning on the nikola and was pretty comfortable once this one came along, still learned a bit and still learning each day i ride but no big bumps or major catastrophes and always with the cover on it. I do love the ease of grabbing and going, easy to port around and very zippy. I couldn't imagine trying to lug the Nikola like that.
