Sonic Riders
"Power type enhanced. Accelerate+ Endurance+"

- Game description in Sonic Riders. This Extreme Gear first appeared in Sonic Riders, where it was given the name "Cover-P". According to its profile, the Cover-P is enhanced especially for Power Type characters, meaning that only the Power Type characters in the game can use it. It can be purchased at the shop for 500 Rings.

The design for the Cover-P in Sonic Riders mostly resembles that of a traditional motorcycle scooter. It is mainly colored red, with white and black highlights on the front and each side of the rear, a black seat and a black floorboard.

As a Bike type Extreme Gear in Sonic Riders, the Cover-F is more powerful, but less maneuverable and less fuel efficient than most other types of Extreme Gears. Due to the Power Types possessing greater endurance that other characters in the game, but lacks better acceleration and higher speeds, the Cover-P gives good stats to boost its rider's acceleration and speed in exchange for a smaller Air Tank.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
"Gear that offsets the power type's weakness with improved max speed and acceleration."

- Game description in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity.

This Extreme Gear made a reappearance in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, in which it was given a slightly different name, "Cover P". According to its profile, it covers the power type's weaknesses by granting greater top speed and acceleration.

In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, the Cover P was given a new design. In this game, it bears a closer resemblance to a racing motorcycle, with a more smooth and aerodynamic design. While otherwise keeping its color scheme from the previous title and remaining primarily red, it is in this game colored black on the top half and is colored whit on its lower rim.

As a Bike type Extreme Gear in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, the Cover P is more powerful, but less maneuverable than most other types of Extreme Gears, and allows its rider to crash through obstacles and barricades without slowing down, gaining Gravity Points (GP) for each destroyed obstacle. It was also no longer restricted to only Power Type characters, because the Power Type mechanic was not used in the game. The Cover P does not possess any unique abilities of its own, though it has, like in the previous title, above average Limit and Dash stats to increase the rider's acceleration and speed. It also possesses the Gear Parts Starting Speed UP and Max Speed UP that can increase its top speed and acceleration even further.
