I see. Sorry for so many questions Pablo. I am still quite new to this. One more question about the clutch. If a guy wants to ride around with the engine off, I think one pulls the clutch in. Is there a way to lock the clutch in for a longer ride? I would think your hand would get fatigued after a while otherwise.
Thanks for the practical help.
All MB kits come with a locking clutch. There are 2 styles of locking clutch lever. The older style locks automatically when you pull the lever in to disengage the clutch, the newerstyle requires you to push down on a "button" to lock the clutch lever but releasing the clutch is automatic.
Riding the bike with the clutch lever locked out (disengaged) does result in some frictional losses and noticeable effort in pedaling since you are spinning extra rotational mass and do have some very minor clutch drag even with clutch locked out.
