They're actually very easy to ride...
Pull the clutch in, pedal real fast & 'pop' the clutch out to start it.
You pull the clutch in just before a stop (so the engine can stay running while the bike isn't rolling).
When you take off from a stop, you pedal to build up some speed & gently let out the clutch to engage the engine.
Always pedal the bike at low speeds (or going up a hill) to help the engine.
There's probably some videos on Youtube showing how do do it all.

Man clutching is a pain in center of LA where there's ton of traffic lights.
Main problem is i live in Los Angeles and traffic here is ****, and since i have to ride this thing on side of the road and not center of lane it major bad thing.
All there's cars parked on side of the road that can have someone merge into road or open the door or car comes out of the driveway.
Many parts of the road have no adequate space to ride the bicycle on the side of the road, cars parked by the sidewalk and lane with less than feet of space from the parked cars, when coming next to this section of road and there's traffic going 40mph in same lane i get very worried.
