It’s only shitty and jerky if you’re shitty at driving a manual. Practice makes perfect.

But properly calibrated regen braking and accelerator pedal can make normal EV driving approach the engagement of a good ol stick shift.

As a motorcyclist, I concur. I'm pretty smooth at getting from zero to road speed without making the passenger seasick. But I can tell by the sounds of the highway, a lot of passengers probably hate motorbikes because of their pilots. Not many manual drivers, even on motorbikes where you'd think they might be more tuned in to their engines, are very good at it.
