I've been trawling the lists, looking at EV conversions, and seeing people make the clutchplate into a shaft coupler (ie no more clutch).

So it occurred to me having pondered this.

If we grab the speed and "which gear are you in" information, the speed control microprocessor should be able to match the engine speed to the road speed "pretty closely" and make shifting gears pretty painless.

If the road speed and the motor speed are matched, the mesh will allow the shift to happen smoothly.

The controller would have to make some assumptions about whether you are shifting up or down, based on accelerator positioning.
