\u201cTo clutch or not to clutch that is the question?\u201d<\/p>\n
Electric motors will disengage (and free spin) allowing a clutchless gear changes (since the weight of the electric motor is easily overcome by the synchomesh in the transmission). I have seen different companies advocate going clutchless and some keeping the clutch. Clutchless is simple and therefore cheaper. However I listen to the builders that advocate using a clutch and here are the reasons that resonate with me:<\/p>\n
#Clutch gives you an emergency disconnect in case of shunt or full on condition.<\/p>\n
#Clutchless does place higher strain on the motor and transmission,<\/p>\n
#To make the driving experience similar to original petrol engine.<\/p>\n
##Clutchless does require adapting driving style to correctly shift without causing serious damage to the motor.<\/p>\n
