Well, that's a personal problem, not a physics problem

Anyway, maybe bodger up a real clutch instead of the centrifugal one, or freewheel/sprag on the other end of that rod connected to the bellhousing, or in the rear wheel hub, whichever looks easiest to engineer.

A real clutch would be ultimately more efficient than a freewheel though since you don't have to use the starter as much and can bump start if you time the traffic obstructions right.
