Happy to be able to share it.

I am building my first hub motored ebike and want a controller that will do proportional regen.
I see that you are using an Adaptto controller. They appear to be one of the best, however, I am not finding any place to buy these.
Where could I find one of these controllers?
And secondly, the does the Sabvoton controller (a lower option, but widely available) have the ability to do proportioanl regen?

HK12K said:order the nuc

My Grandma always said to buy the one you really want--sage advice.
Thanks for pointing me in a good direction.

If you decide to try it, you can setup a cable-operated throttle on a brake lever instead. More natural operation (since you're using a brake lever for braking), and you can even use a dual-cable-lever (or a splitter) so you can have the regen work first, then the mechanical brake start as regen is maxed out in case you need it for emergency braking.Grinning_Ernst said:The controller's regen is smooth and powerful, as advertised by the fine folks on this thread. And I'm quite happy with the generic push thumb throttle.
If the controller is not already setup for current / torque throttle mode, I highly recommend changing that. It will make it a lot more controllable than if it's a speed / pwm throttle control method that most controllers use.And as predicted by someone on here, the right full twist for throttle doesn't work well. It's indeed all over the place — especially problematic with a high power system, which is fair to say my bicycle has now become (3,6KW output on full charge). When riding on dirt roads, my right fist tends to cramp up by trying to stabilise the throttle output.
Yes, your chop job inspired me :lol:Had the same problem... worked for me.I've been thinking of "axing" the otherwise fine full twist throttle in half.
That looks quite interesting. A mechanical brake AND a thumb throttle for braking is indeed one option too much in emergency situations.If you decide to try it, you can setup a cable-operated throttle on a brake lever instead. More natural operation (since you're using a brake lever for braking), and you can even use a dual-cable-lever (or a splitter) so you can have the regen work first, then the mechanical brake start as regen is maxed out in case you need it for emergency braking.
I have a "how to" thread here:

which others have also contributed to, with a few options.
