This is a man who get's the most out of regen. Over 700w in one ride. I think he stayed on the road and uses areo mods that are also not used in off road.
Sounds like if you don't do much road riding then regen is a waste of your time. As far as being hard to setup it's not, my trike did not come with rear brakes and it would be silly to spend money to add rear brakes that would only skid and ware out my rear tire and regen would be the sane and logical choice for a rear break.
So it seems that regen is more for road bikes and those who can reap the benefits.
