The Whole Clutch

I called Randy at CanEV. The intent of his design is to use the clutch. So far, I'm the only one that is using the transmission in one gear. Everyone else has wanted to use a lower gear (normally 2nd on a 5 speed) to run around town and have lots of power, then a higher gear (normally 3rd or 4rth) for the highway/interstate. And they need the clutch to shift easily from 2nd to 3rd (or whatever).

I guess I wasn't thinking of performance. I was just trying to get it to roll to begin with ...

A Netgain Warp 9 on a 1600 lb car ... SHOULD ... be peppy even if you leave it in 3rd gear all of the time ... ?

I guess we'll see ... June 11.
