I heard the CVT ones do really well with a bypass but after mine went out with a manual trans it was really crappy taking off from a start. If it was level ground that's fine. A little slow, never got a horn honk. But if you find yourself on an off ramp at a stop with a steep grade it's brutal. Clutch out, 50% part or full throttle, someone could do a little jog and go right by you on foot.

That's why you rev it to 6 grand and drop the clutch.
But seriously. I could chirp the tires in 2nd gear when the battery was in place, and now I can't in first.
