My first test drive in the Electro-Metro had a bit of that same "sitting in a dead car" feel.

I am a little more used to it because that's exactly what my cycle does all the time!

I have also been doing a far amount of engine-off-coasting the the truck lately, so I really do sit at traffic lights with the engine off.

It's nice not to have to start up an engine before pulling away!
