How does it restart ?
It looks to be rather rough during the restart @ (near) standstill.
itīs the normal elektric starter. watch the video anser with the daihatsu. there ist the restart installation and usage viewable.

From what I've read here, most Pulse & Gliders bump the engine back on in top gear.
While you're still moving, I've seen you bump-start it as well.
indeed, in fakt i use bumpstart mutch more often, than the e-starter.

PS :
Your steering technique - or rather lack thereof - would give a driving instructor an instant heart attack !
Hand(s) on top of the wheel is called the Kaninchen (rabbit)-style here.
donīt worry about that. iīm familiar with driving instructors and some steering techniques. at crusing speed this knowing is somwhat unneccecary, imho. maybe this is more your cup of tea?
