The electric trials bike he used in the TrialE cup has both a gearbox and a clutch.

Admitedly I have approximately zero trials experience. However I have ridden the Alta and you can stop forward motion bu just stop turning the trottle. Its a little weird and would take some getting used to. Especially for someone used to using a clutch.

Trials techniques are still well applied in technical enduro. Things like double blipping a log, or punching up a steep embankment. A lot of times you don't want to cut drive as that causes momentum to be lost and the front end to drop back down if it's against something grippy, but at the same time you don't want to be on the power either as that firms up the rear suspension due to the chain pulling and can also lose traction in rough, choppy, or slippery conditions.

Fair enough. I obviously am still working on technique.

Anyone who has used a Rekluse in the tricky stuff will agree that a clutch is useful. I had my old Rekluse fitted Bike flip over my head and land on its wheels behind me because the front came up and my throttle hand slipped and whoosh!
With a clutch I would have cut power to the wheel as soon as the front started to lift As Chris Birch instructed you need to ride with your guns out all the time (a finger on the clutch and a finger on the brake)

Yeah it's fine for MX, but I agree on the need for a clutch anywhere else. Next bike I want to test is the elec trials with a clutch, I could have fun on that even in my little yard.
