Managing the engine is not the most important part of flying, especially for ultralight aircraft. And in fact, the best pilots tend to be also experienced glider pilots.
Also, one specificity of ultralight flying, or at least the way I was taught, is to not trust the engine, no matter how reliable it is supposed to be. One aspect is to make the final approach unpowered. Of course, the engine is still running, but ideally, you should pull the throttle all the way back and leave it here, as if the engine had failed. This is in contrast to the 3° slope commonly taught in general aviation.
Of course, a pilot who only flew on an electric plane needs some time with a flight instructor in order to learn the quirks of gas engines, but that should be quick compared to the time it takes to actually learn how to fly.
