The big difference between a DCT and an electric, or a CVT, all without manual clutches is the ability to upshift or downshift with the DCT just like a manual clutch bike with an up and down quickshifter.
An electric is most like a CVT where there is a direct connect power to drivetrain with no interruptions, although the electric is the most direct.
talking about riding an electric in a sporting manner, they race electrics in a MotoGP format, called MotoE.

like MotoGP bikes, once rolling there is no need for a manual clutch
Fantastic. Spectators probably don't need earplugs either.
