I've heard of a couple of people complaining about the X Scooter's clutch being less than reliable. I'm a total luddite, I like my technology simple (easier to fix when they break) and you don't get much simpler than the mechanical clutch of the SS & Gavin (an aluminium disc).
The Prop, clutch, duct, shaft seal, etc (the "ass" end in other words) of most scooters sold today are from a common source.
The point of the "electronic clutch" is to stop the motor before the mechanical clutch has to act.
As these clutches are a wear point if actuated, and pretty much not an issue if not, the electronic clutch should in theory result in longer mech clutch life.
