seat activated pressure switch. A simple thing of the engine running, yet
gears
disengaged when you let go of lever would have been much better.



Manufacturers being as they are, and the buying public not willing to pay
double, the use of the cheapest technology is typical in most brands.

It is much cheaper to add a switch and a wire and ground the magneto causing
the engine to stop than it is to add a fancy remote controlled clutch.

Hope this helps you understand why, even if it's not the easiest to operate,
