Ill just get to the point. Never driven manual. And im mechanically stupid. So... i bought a vw trike. Ughhh type 3?..i think. 78? 1600cc idfk. Point is..Im getting the hang of it but... The Guy said not to take off in first because ill do a wheelie. Recommended i take off in second. Sometimes i dont giver enough and kill it. Sometimes i jolt forward a little faster than id like. Is this because its second gear? Just seems like gas pedal (throttle, break, clutch all foot opporated) gives a bit too much oomph without pressing hard at all. Ive popped several small wheelies in 2nd taking off.. so is taking off in 3rd better? Im sure alot of it is sloppy clutch work. But does anyone else with a VW trike have to start off in second? Was i misinformed? Would taking off in 3rd be smoother and less agressive? Like take off in 3rd- move down to 2nd once im going and then up to 3rd again after ive buikt some speed Or is 1st fine? Again im about 3 days deep into learning manual and i cannot stress how mechanically oblivious i am.kinda why i got this also. A. Looks badass B. Fun way to learn manual. C. Simple enough very exposed design. Ive learned alot just by looking at the thing. Its like a stick with handle bars and an engine haha. But yeah...help
