Bonnell 40hp and 60hp dirt bikes and e-bikes

Not really. In Hard Enduro often freeroll is best and brake on the brakes. But in more street like scenario's or very long gravel ish it would be great to use the same lever as a regen brake lever. Since it's just wires 1 lever can do lots of stuff. And sure you know wheter your ride will be Hard Enduro (clutch) or street/easy gravel (brake).

Interesting, thanks, so you use minimal regen for both climbs and descents?

 

[Erwin P]

I normally do 40%. 100% is way too much, then the rear locks up all the time going down steep stuff.

 

[Beagle]

I thought high regen for descents and no regen for climbs. I know nothing

If (when!) I go electric, I will lose my special move: the mid-climb stall.

Uphill there almost always is throttle, so engine brake doesn't matter

 

[Beagle]

Yeah I am well aware that's how you're supposed to do it. If you (I mean: me) would happen to mess up, no regen would not kill your momentum
Anyway that's one of the things I find really cool with electrics, the ability to adapt regen (engine breaking) to the terrain, weather, traction... or to your skill level

You could maybe use regen in reverse after that mid-climb stall

Not sure if even I could stall an electric

I have this index finger trigger throttle for regen set up on my conversion bike with an EBMX X9000 controller.

It’s great when street riding to use for braking. I don’t use it off road because it is more like an on / off switch and it’s hard modulate and to use going over whoops or cornering.

I tried using it as e-clutch (the EBMX software has a setting for this) - it really isn’t that useful.

So for street riding it works pretty good.

But the most usefull thing, storing energy in the flywheel and letting that roll you over an obstacle with throttle closed, you don't get with an E clutch.

Yes, you do, if this feature is programmed in. The thing is, those who have the ability to program such things lack the riding and the tuning skills, and those who do not lack the riding and the tuning skills are not programmers and do not work for OEMs.
