That is indeed pretty cool. I don’t think that it’s impossible to have a manual transmissions with an EV by any means. Just that most don’t see to include it.

I really enjoy shifting gears on my bike. But if motorcycles didn’t come with manual transmissions I don’t think it would be the worst thing.
