I like the sprag clutch because it has less moving parts and you will always have someone that will forget to disingauge the reverse before they take off, a sprag gear and a permanent connection is basically dummy proof...
Yoshi are you SURE about the sprague clutch? I ask because for it to allow the machine to freewheel forward. It would not be able to spin the shaft in reverse.
I was thinking more of a switch that would kill the motor if you put it in gear while the reverser was physically engauged to the sprocket.
that's what the kickstand line would do, when it's ingauged, it ungrounds the circuit which makes the computer think the kickstand is down, which will run until you put it in gear, then it dies before you can even take your foot off the clutch. It could be as simple as a little contact that the starter touches while in the up position.
