The Bionx hub motor does regen and uses NiMH or Li batteries. Because the weight of ebikes are low, relatively little recharging is actually done. Perhaps the...
Pretty impressive videos. What if you optimized for 20 mph and maximum range? Do you think you could achieve an 60 mile flat ground range or 3 hr run time...
