Now that I think of it, I guess ideally would be a lever on the left handlebars that is a clutch for half of the travel and upon pulling further turns into a left-hand rear brake. I’d love that.
You forgot the momentum, what You can store in the revs at a ICE engine. This engines have a lot of mass in the crankshaft. An electric engine has no momentum at all, compared to a ICE engine. I have a brammo, which has a clutch and 6 speeds. It makes no difference, wether letting the clutch pop or not, when You want to wheely the bike. It simply does not wheely at all!I'm with ww on this one. A clutch on a typical ICE engine allows the engine to rev freely, then the clutch allows the power to be transmitted through the gear box to the rear wheel, depending on how much engagement is fed in through the clutch lever, and how hi the engine is reving.
The electric clutch seems to just be an additional "throttle" to control the electric motor. There's no spinning the electric motor up and then engaging the gear box right?
I'm not getting it and don't see what it does differently then the throttle?
I've been wrong on plenty of things before so would love to hear, or better yet see a demonstration
What am I missing here?
And the EM looks like a ball, very high quality. Wish they would produce an enduro style bike.
From 2007 to 2014 we where renting electric Quantyas (Brand from Switzerland) to everyone like in a carting hall. So the customer got bike, clothing, trainer and track (3 levels). 10 minutes where12€. Easy concept, but the weather problems (no hall and 6 months to cold and wet) and the expensive bikes did not leave much margin. Another problem is, that half of the bikes are on the charger, the other half is riding. So You need a lot of bikes (invest), to keep people busy! So we stopped it in 2014. I kept the track for testing, servicing and dealing with electric bikes (Brammo, Zero, Quantya, and at last ALTAs) and I do seminars concerning Motorbikes and especially electric bikes for TÜV organisations. So the track is still in use. Just changed it a bit and keep it in shape. In the moment, I wait for a successor for ALTA, because this was the best dirtbike ever built, for daling them to people! Enclosed a picture from the track and a Quantya dirtbike, what we used first.Could you describe your electro MX Park abut more - very interesting - why did you get out of it.

Ditto! This is what I was thinking too.Now that I think of it, I guess ideally would be a lever on the left handlebars that is a clutch for half of the travel and upon pulling further turns into a left-hand rear brake. I’d love that.
