It'd be fairly weird though since the electrics don't idle. Starting off would be easy: just put it in gear and then accelerate without ever having to slip the clutch or even know about the clutch "bite" point. Be a bit like using a traditional starter motor with a manual already in gear and the clutch engaged.

The clutch would probably last a very long time.
