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.

I agree, and since the torque curves are so different between high revving bikes and low revving EV motors, using real clutches will result in tons more maintenance on EVs.

Better mapping and “single pedal” style controls are gonna feel different, but ultimately can give riders more control and probably an advantage in those trials and gymkhana runs too.
