Awesome video. Very factual and to the point. :) I find the regen levels on both my bikes vary with the power level used to move forward. i.e. If I use 4KW and ride hard, regen % will be 3-5%, but if I cruise around at 750W, regen will be more like 7-10%. Also if I ride up a mountain, then regen all the way back down I've seen regen up to 15%. Cheers

Interesting stuff, I've been running regen on my DD builds for a few years now and the returns have varied with the type of regen used. The regen as demonstrated by bruno seemed to be 'slip regen,' at least that's what it was called on the old lyen version of the programming software xpd and it works slightly different to brake lever (or variable throttle) activated regen. With slip enabled in the settings as soon as you release the throttle the region activates, which got me my highest return about 12%. However I found this to be a quite annoying way to ride my ebike, as it does not allow for coasting (when e.g you light ahead turns red) and in my opinion actually makes for less efficient energy usage, because you do not have your momentum anymore to drive you further down the road for almost no energy used. Lyen controllers disable regen at 10mph (maybe 15?) so then you can coast, but some programs and controllers allow regen all the way down to zero too. Grinfineon version esc's (and some new kelly and sabvoton) also have variable regen, activated in various different ways, but the ability to modulate the power on the fly allows for greater control of braking strength and imo greater braking control is always better (wheel locking up not so much ;) personally I prefer brake lever activated Regen on my builds, set fairly high and just used to augment the stopping power of my hydraulic brakes and save brake pad wear. in fact on one of my first builds I'm still running the original pads! this type of braking however has never got me more than a five or six% maximum return, but the braking is so much smoother and stronger and of course I can Coast however much I want this way. Anyway thanks for all the great vids, looking forward to your next one.

I’ve always wanted to do my own battery pack using Samsung batteries or better but am afraid I don’t know how. I’ve alread started collecting /buying batteries from laptops and online but I’m still afraid I won’t know how. I’m sure your book can be of much help.

Interesting results. If I was marketing ebikes or ebike systems with regen braking, I would definitely use reduced brake wear and downhill performance as the main selling points, and the range extension as a bonus. How are regen brakes affected by battery charge level? I used to drive a Nissan Leaf, and it would gradually increase regen capacity from nothing to full within the first few kilometers after a full charge.

Interesting topic. I had a "Magic Pie" hub motor that did regen braking, but didn't seem to add much to the battery. I'm looking at mid-drives now because they don't add drag when in non-electric pedal mode. But I guess you lose the freewheeling if you want regen braking!

Hi Micah, I'm putting together a ebike over in NZ. Just brought one of your battery connector kits from India - it's great! I'm keen to go the mid drive way, using the MY1018 motor I have; however I'm finding it hard to source a freewheel crankset without spending too much. Is there any reason why I couldn't just connect the motor to the largest sprocket on the crank and just omit the free wheel? I think i'd be happy using it as full time pedal assist where the pedals and motor are not independent, but haven't seen any other bikes done this way so wonder if there's a reason why this is not common.

After watching this video I have learned two more reasons that regenerative braking probably isn't something I will be able to use for several years or more. One reason seems to be that not many people seem interested in using regen ability for bike-touring/bike-camping. People that want speed (usually huge heavy hub motors) just seem to use it for saving brake pads which is cool but not the primary purpose for regen. Although I would most assuredly benefit in that aspect too. People that want to haul freight are less concerned with speed over torque. Also very important to me as my mid-drive attests. The other reason I won't be investing in regen is the additional torque applied to the trailer frame and suspension would require mods that would increase the weight significantly. Again, all fine with an electric motorcycle that you can plug in a couple times a day, not so good for a tour-bike. I have been using my ebike for the past few years mainly for bike-packing and day rides. Fully loaded pulling a single wheel suspended trailer I can indulge myself with 180 lbs of gear, tools and parts, toys, food, water, and other liquids. There's also the additional weight of 2 x 30+ ah Li-ion batteries, a Grin Satiator, and the BaFang BBS02. Fully loaded it's a pig with long legs. Stripped down she is svelt but able to do single track more comfortably than most any other tour bike alive. With a multi-use ebike the rules are different in that the focus is more about distance. I don't care how fast I can get to the top of Pikes Peak, I just want to be able to get to the top. So that I can sleep for the next 12 hours. That's why regenerative breaking would be even more valuable to me than to Anyone that has access to AC power every night. You can argue that people that have never run out of power don't really need the regen capability at all other than to save brake pads. I can check most of the boxes needed to make investing in regen ability worthwhile, need (I need the additional power), weight, speed, varied terrain (good when descending, not so good climbing). Where I run into problems is I can't afford to use a large oversized wheel or rim and some ridiculously large (and not street legal) hub motor. Rolling resistance for me needs to be kept to an absolute minimum. When I move from a "base-camp" I am fully loaded and it becomes all about using the minimum amount of battery power possible to cover the greatest distance. Depending on the terrain I have up to a 150-mile range or as little as 40. You can ride without any assistance at all even uphill... if you are a far better man than myself. Once at camp and I have everything down-loaded I can grind out 100+ miles with a lot of legwork or "sail" mostly on throttle about 60+ miles with little to no peddling and all on a single pack. I would never trade the mid-drive and Rohloff combination for what I do and have a dynamo front hub for lights and a 5V USB on tap when I'm moving. That leaves me the trailer wheel to possibly use a hub motor for regen and to lessen brake wear on descents, but if I ever got shot in both legs I could use it to get to the hospital... so that's a bonus. One last point I would like to make is that most of the bikes you have shown aren't legal for street use... pretty much anywhere in the civilized world. Again, a moot point for so many today but the most paramount of importance for someone touring on a bike. That more than anything else is why the use of nothing larger than a 750W motor is mandatory... and completely reasonable when you want your ebike to be viewed as a bike and not an electric vehicle. Meaning, no license, no paperwork, no insurance and almost no restrictions when you comply with the rules. Until someone focuses on this aspect of biking we won't see it as the standard as it could be. I am putting my hopes for relatively unlimited range on a 300W solar panel. - imgur.com/a/EhbVxLF

It really depends on how much AH you want. For example, if you only want a 5Ah battery using 2.5Ah cells, you'll need cells that can each do 20A. But if you want a 10Ah battery with 2.5Ah cells, you can use 4 cells in parallel with cells that only need to put out 10A each. I've been using LG MJ1s a lot as they have high capacity (3.5Ah) and decently high power (10A).

also how can you calculate REGEN returns? Especially if they are hocked up to the discharge port?

I am not much familiar with electronics; but I think 1- building hub motors larger with 2 separate sections drive and generator or 2- using 2 hubs one on the back & one on the front 3- using 2 wind power generator a. narrow and long parallel to front suspension generator b. inside the horizontal handlebar 4- using suspensions to generate power (front and seat) 5- using motor to generate power itself whenever not being used like pedalling or down the hill. All the above one or combination of two or more could increase the range lot more than just regenerating brakes. This is just about range extension and not about self powered bike. Do u know if any of the above has been tried? if yes what was the result? Thanks

A direct drive hub motor is a generator with same efficiency as the motor. Wind resistance is the enemy, suspension sounds finicky . Most effective and cheapest range extender is another battery.

How do you wire BMS on batteries in a vertically series fashion? Your DIY battery book does not address this.

What is your take on building Ebike batteries with recycled 18650 cells? What are the essential tools to make sure you get decent cells, and is this something you would recommend to a first-time battery builder?

It's possible, and since new batteries can be expensive, it is often a good way to start battery building for cheap, but I'm not a huge fan of it. Ebikes usually require higher power than most battery powered devices, and recycled batteries come with unknown histories and uses, so its hard to know if your battery is good and safe, even when doing capacity testing. If using recycled batteries, I highly recommend single cell fuses.

There are a lot of people recycling cells most from old laptop batteries ( m.facebook.com/groups/323586824654552 ) but these cells are not high-current and not suitable for electric bikes, they'll get super hot. Power tools use high current cells (ideal for ebike) but low capacity (not much range). You can try and make a pack using recycled cells (don't invest too much money and don't expect too much) just for fun and to learn battery stuff. I would highly recommend keep your eyes always monitoring the series voltages and charging using a RC hobby charger so you can see what is happening and properly balance the pack (cheap BMS doesn't really do a good job specially in this case using mixed random cells). New cells is far the best option, will give you the most performance and range + its reliable. You'll learn a LOT building your own pack regardless if you use new or recycled cells, learning new things is always a good thing =]

There's a golden egg in regenerative braking as it applies to almost any use of an electric bike. Bruno seems to be hot on the trail toward connecting the dots. Micah, you're an electrical engineer? I'm surprised you're not thinking more deeply about the possibilities inherent in progressive/variable regenerative braking. ABritInNY ....You need to start building a prototype brother! There's definitely room for improvement in e-bike design. May the smartest guy get rich! There's a mind-numbing number of people asking questions completely unrelated to regenerative braking. Get out of the box people!
