Great wheel looking forward to using it every day

I have been using wheels for over 25 years. The advances made on this wheel are comparable to any other electronics in the same period. The only thing this wheel doesn't do is sync with my iPhone. In many ways, this handlebar lives up to the accuracy of the tape. Even on rough terrain where the wheels I've had in the past have completely failed. I particularly like the features available on the keyboard, but the design and instrumentation go well beyond that. Foldable arm with carry case is a big plus. The old wheels with retractable arms always failed. Second, I'm 6ft 4in tall. A lot of the bikes I had made me run like Victor Hugo's hunchbacks. This stick is quite large, but its design allows a smaller person to be comfortable steering at a slight angle. The handle is comfortable. Another big benefit I see is that when the wheel comes to a stop, it will stop even if it loses contact with the ground. The Add Radius button is nice, but this is by no means the first wheel I've had with this feature. The keyboard works well - there are no sticky keys, no repetitive tapping to get it working, and it's comfortable with gloves on. The settlement industry excelled in the development and implementation of the product. I definitely recommend this product. While it's significantly more expensive than some of the competition, advances in form and function make up for it.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some issues
