Hello All,
Is there a way to use regenerative braking to check downhill coast speeds at a fixed maximum for an ebike towing up to 70kg / 150lbs of weight in a small trailor?
I am legally blind and, although I can see well-enough to drive an ebike safely, I prefer not to coast at normal speeds downhill. I love in a hilly area and am searching for commute solutions. I was referred here byu the folks at bikeforums.com who suggested you might have more experience with direct drive motors and regen braking. Clearly, I need a solution that would not involve normal brake mechanisms as they would wear out with constant applicaion under a load. Could a regen system be installed on the trailor to help spread the load rearward, as well?
I apologize in advance for being new to ebike mechanics and greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions you may wish to share.
Thank you!
Brian
