What is Honda’s E-Clutch? Here’s what it is, how it works and how you should use it as a Malaysian rider

  • Honda's E-Clutch system is a servo-actuated clutch mechanism, mated to a conventional gearbox and standard multi-plate motorcycle clutch.
  • Available in Malaysia with the newly launched 2025 Honda CB650R naked sports and CBR650R sportsbike, the E-Clutch is designed to make life easier for riders.
  • The E-Clutch is controlled by a motor control unit (MCU) and can be customised to suit individual riding styles.
  • It operates like a very well adjusted up-and-down quickshifter but does not require rev matching or attention to engine and road speed.
  • The E-Clutch can be completely disengaged, and if the system fails, it will default to manual mode.
  • The system is not a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) gearbox or rotary gearbox with centrifugal clutch or automatic gearbox.
  • The E-Clutch makes it easier for new riders or riders who are coming back to riding after a very long break to operate the motorcycle without worrying about stalling or fumbling a gear change.
  • It can half-clutch to reduce shock while downshifting, making gear changes quicker and smoother, and avoids aggressive clutch operation, avoiding stalling or tipping over the motorcycle when starting or stopping.
  • The E-Clutch takes a little getting used to but most riders would fall into the habit of not using the clutch after about an hour or so.
  • Wheelie merchants take note: the E-Clutch will not allow wheelies or rear-wheel slides, and the traction control on the CB650R and CBR650R is quite aggressive, discouraging any two-wheel hooliganism.

Skyrider X1: The flying motorcycle that could redefine personal travel

  • Rictor has announced a self-proclaimed flying motorcycle known as the Skyrider X1. It combines the land capabilities of an electric moped with the flight mechanics of a quadcopter drone.
  • The Skyrider X1 is equipped with two wheels for road travel and eight propellers for aerial stability and can reach speeds of up to 62 mph and sustain flight for 40 minutes on a single charge, depending on the model.
  • Safety plays a key role in the Skyrider X1, aligning with its user-friendly design. Its electric propulsion system reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional aircraft.
  • Despite Rictor’s claims, autonomous functionality is likely to face regulatory challenges, with certification details for full autonomy still a few years away.
  • The Skyrider X1 aims to make personal flight as accessible as driving a car, focusing on affordability and user-friendly design, while keeping safety and sustainability in mind.
  • While the Skyrider X1 represents a new era for personal transportation, overcoming technical and regulatory challenges is key.
  • Rictor is signaling a move towards autonomous functionality, but manual controls via joystick offer flexibility.
  • Compared to earlier attempts at flying motorcycles, advancements in materials science, battery efficiency, and autonomous systems make personal flying vehicles more feasible than ever.
  • Rictor envisions a future where the Skyrider X1 is not a luxury but a practical mobility solution, democratizing air travel.
  • The Skyrider X1 represents an exciting possibility for a new era in personal transportation, but technical and regulatory challenges must first be overcome.
