Alright thanks for the replies guys! I guess a slight pressure backwards would do the trick or, if not, i might just use the ebrake as you stated. I'll have to test that out once I finish my build. But from your answers it seems to not be that big of a deal, even with a middrive system.

I'm thinking about adding pedal assist to the Ebike I'm wanting to build, which is the middrive type. However, it got me thinking that if I start to pedal, and the motor starts helping me pedal also, I would have to counter the motor's power to make it stop, if I was to use this kind of pedal...

First i'd like to thank you all for your feedback. But you got it right, amberwolf. The idea was to enable/disable regenerative braking. But it's true that it can be used for reversing. I didn't think about that. And you also have a good point when saying that it would be better to use a clutch...

So what I understand from this is I'm most likely not going to find what I'm looking for and that If I really want to have such a mechanism I would need to make a custom freewheel myself. Is that pretty much it?

Yep, a clutch would do the trick. I don't know why I didn't think about that. Thanks! But my question still persists ;)

I'm mostly planning to use it as an a mean of transportation (meaning on-road use) instead of using a car (too expensive), but which would be faster than a bicycle. It also makes for a great toy to play with and have fun. I was thinking about getting a 1000w-1500w motor.

Hi, I wanted to know if such a thing existed: A freewheel which acts like a normal freewheel when "disengaged" (it turns its axis only when rotating in one way), but acts like a normal sprocket when "engaged" (it turns its axis when rotating in both ways). Thanks!

Hello, I'm thinking about building an electric bike, but as you know, there are many ways to achieve this, and the way the electric motor is implemented varies from ebike to ebike (hub motor, mid drive motor, etc.). So my question is this: When using an electric motor, is a transmission...
