I believe the Innova has a transmission similar to the Honda Cub or CT70. There is no hand clutch, you just idle down and shift.

I have been looking at available used small cc motorcycles but they all have a hand clutch. Eliminator 125, GS 250, DR 350 are a few types that I have found for sale in my area. I have not seen a CT70 for sale for a long time. I guess one could replace the CT 70cc motor with a Lifan 125.

Is there a way to convert a bike with a hand clutch to a prone riding position? The challenge is that you have four things that need to be managed by hand:

throttle
clutch
front brake
rear brake

It would be nice to be able to ride and control the vehicle either upright or in the prone position.

In the upright position you could operate the rear brake as usual with the left foot. But in the prone position, how would you do it?
