It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Did you read the article? I was thinking it sounded like pointless electrification at first myself, but it's for use with an electric motorcycle. Electric motorcycles don't have manual clutches which leave you without much manual control. You can't slip or feather a clutch when there isn't one. This honestly sounds pretty cool for anyone that wants an electric motorcycle that handles like a motorcycle instead of a scooter.
There's no clutch, and it just regulates the power. Sounded like a throttle to me. Like, hey, you could use the clutch to control the engine, or the throttle.
Nah, it disengages the throttle like a clutch. It basically mimics a clutch for electric bikes that don't have one.
