Great for starter/medium skilled rider. Pretty sure even more pro seems to be appreciating this model too. There are faster but 30 mph is pretty great enough. Pros: 3" wide wheel is great for stability, 16" diameter of tire is good for agility and easy to take tight turns. There is plenty of power to propel a big guy like me 220lb. Bluetooth audio is surprisingly great feature I use more than I thought, even the light bar is better and useful for visibility so not only a gimmick. Compared to a KS 18 XL is more planted feeling so I would take this one over the big brother.
