There are a lot of the $150-$200 kits for a 36V-48V rear/front hub, the heavy ones that are like 15 pounds or so.
Many don't say if they support brake regeneration or not.
But I'm curious - for these, like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073JCZWKW/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2
is it usually just a question of the controller that's hooked up to it? It seems from reading that the hubs are usually just dumb, with the windings/hall sensors/and mechanical stuff inside, and the wires come out and the only electronics are really outside of the hubs.
So then if someone wanted to add regeneration to these, you would just add a new controller that supported it.
Is there a nice list of cheap controllers out there somewhere? Maybe these types of hub motors are going out of style because of how heavy they are? Because it seems like everyone is selling them for like $150 or so.
Thank you for help!!
