Methods and systems for providing a simulated clutch function for an electric vehicle. One system includes a clutch input mechanism, one or more sensors providing signals representing a position of the clutch input mechanism, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine, based on the signals from the one or more sensors, whether the clutch input mechanism has been released from an engaged state, and, in response to determining that the clutch input mechanism has been released from the engaged state, the controller is configured to (i) determine a clutch multiplier, (ii) determine a clutch delivery time, and (iii) adjust a power curve mapping the position of a throttle mechanism to a power output based on the clutch multiplier and control power to a motor based on a position of a throttle input mechanism and the adjusted power curve for the clutch delivery time.
