Great looking buggy...
The are a few reasons we did not consider the clutch, it was to eliminate the added cost of clutch bearings, shoes, and springs. Plus the fact you have perfect control of the electric power with no clutch. If we added a clutch we would have lost the beauty of torque with the electric motor.
