Hey,
Does someone want to explain how difficult it is to use a hub motor to generate power while rolling?
I have a 60v / 1000w scooter with an extra hub motor. Attaching the rear motor wheel to the front fork would be unusual and I would get help, but what would I have to do beyond that to start pulling power back into a battery when the front wheel spins? I am aware that it would add some resistance to the wheel, but when it is rolling downhill, etc, it seems really worth trying to me. Rather than solar panels alone to charge while driving/parked.
