It's sad that Arcimoto's travails have them putting the Cybertrike on a back burner. It's an exercycle/electric carver/scooter.

You still have to shift a bike with a Reklue clutch kit - you just don't have to clutch. It replaces the regular wet clutch pack with a centrifugal clutch. Twist the throttle and go, then change gears up and down as necessary. Closest thing I can think of is the auto clutch on the old Honda Trail 90's (and the new Trail 125)

Almost every horizontal-single Honda, still based on the Cub, feature it. AFAIK only the Asian XRM 125 and the Brazilian Pop 100 (carburettor-fed) and 110i still have a manual clutch now.

In the USA the Honda sells the Grom and Monkey with a manual clutch while the Cub and Trail have an autoclutch. They all have the same 125cc single.

I'd still love to figure out the closest possible SCOOTER to, for example the sym wolf 150cc motorcycle (150cc cg150 honda type, 14.7hp, 60-65mph , carb, 266lbs & mediocre fuel economy)

The super cub 125 (240lbs 9hp?) - is obviously a performer and looks much better than a grom for example.

I think I'd be happy with the kymco like 150i or the honda pcx150/adv150.. Will report back when I buy one! I've all but ruled out the sym hd200 (carb'd), and a few others from that 2000's era, as old technology.

If anyone reading this ever comes along and has any other scooter suggestions , I'd love to take a serious look at ANY other model/brand "lightweight" 150-225cc or "good power to weight" 125-250cc scooters
*that can hold 55-60mph , ....thanks in advance!

I've totally forgot about the Grom. About the Cub, AFAIK it had an automatic clutch instead. I knew some previous versions of the Monkey had an automatic clutch at least...
