Not 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.
