"Riding the Clutch" and a good way to burn it out. Also: a very bad habit
If you are driving it correctly, not slipping the clutch or riding it, the clutch will last for 100,000 miles or more. Slipping means you are not allowing the clutch to fully engage smoothly. In other words revving the engine and trying to ease the clutch on. Practice will cure this. Riding it means keeping your foot on the clutch pedall all the time so that it slips even at speed.
== At a low RPM it is recommended to use the clutch but at 3rd gear it is alright to shift UP to 4th without pulling the clutch.
There is more than reason. A clutch has plates that engage and disengage. The plates can wear out , often mostly due to riding the clutch or other improper operation. The clutch also has bearing and springs- if any of these breaks, the clutch fails.
Mount it somewhere where the heat won't hurt you while you're riding, then use a clutch and a belt or chain to connect it to the axle of the trike, then just set up the throttle and ride.
