Hello!
I have a 26" 1500W hub motor and KT-LCD8H display, and I installed a controller that supports regen (kt 48svprl-sls02g), hoping that I could use the brake lever for motor braking.
The brake lever now works, and I can adjust the braking strength with setting C13, but even on the strongest setting it only brakes down to about 14km/h. Using the throttle speed control, I can slow down to about 8-10km/h before the brake cuts off, so the motor can do that, at least.
Is the lowest motor braking speed somehow adjustable? Or is it just a feature of the controller that I have to live with?
I know it'd make no difference in energy savings. I'm asking because I'd like to brake primarily with the motor, having mechanical brakes only as a failsafe (they're crappy rim brakes, I can't install discs on this bike).
