my motorbike has no pedals, only footpegs. I take off like a motorcycle. pull in the clutch when coming to a stop, awit for my time to go, then give it a slight push with my foot and give it just a tiny bit of gas so that when i release the clutch, the engine doesnt lurch forward, but propels me smoothly ahead.
This can't be as damaging as a clutch start where u give it too much gas and the engine revs too fast and the bike jumps and its just not pretty. I learned how to use my clutch since.
Still 20 bucks to replace from Kingsmotorbikes isnt so bad. not for me at least.
