Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been traveling and not checking the forum.
Yes, you can leave it in gear and stop. The electric motor just stops also. I always just start out in 2nd, 1st gear has to much torque. Even in 2nd the wheels might spin if you get on the accelerator to hard. It even has enough torque to start out in 5th if you want. I often just leave it in 3rd and drive around town like an automatic. Normal highway driving requires you to shift normally since the motor is freewheeling between shifts. I'll try to answer more questions if you have them.

Based on your dash gauge, you have lithium batteries, is that correct? What's their expected service life and how much does it cost to replace them? Thank you, RenoRoger |
