You should get an ebike that has regenerative breaking, not because it's safer/better but because it does not wear anything (except the tyres, hard to avoid that) down when breaking since it's magnetic.
- Reason077 5y agoNot really. Regenerative braking is quite unusual in e-bikes as it requires a “direct drive” motor, and that comes with some of its own disadvantages. Heavier, don’t accelerate as fast, can’t “freewheel” like a traditional bicycle, etc. Now days, most riders (and manufacturers!) seem to prefer geared hub and mid-drive motors.
- bullen 5y agoTrue but it's also simpler and if you are building something to replace your car (replacing your bike is not interesting since you should use that instead) those are not disadvantages, see: http://elhjul.se http://elhjul.se
