There are basically two gear versions available for the DG1001: 2 wheel and 3 wheel gear. The 2 wheel version is retractable and puts the fuselage in quite a high position over the ground. There is no front wheel. It had a reputation to retract without pilot interaction in the first serial numbers. This is the version being available as an electric gear.

The 3 wheel version is available as fixed and manually retractable variants which can be changed between each other. It is basically the same gear like the DG505. It's quite robust and usually the one that the DG1001 club neo is shipped with. For training purposes, the 3 wheel version is probably the better choice.
