Regen on a hub motor

[redbeardbeer]

Hi all.

I currently have a 1000w 48v system on a converted old mountain bike.

It works a treat but I have been wondering about a regen controller.

The motor is the usual 3 phase with a hall sensor.

Does anyone have any controller and screen recommendations?

I've looked on the usual ebay/aliexpress options but there are just so many.

Not looking at spending big bucks - this bike is just something I take to the shops and go for short rides on.

Your controller maybe regen capable. What brand and model. Regen should not cost extra money, it's a feature on most controllers. Setting it up may take some work.

Thanks - I didn't even think that it would be. I will get the make/model of controller tonight and let you know.

Cheers!

Here's some pics of my controller.

Doesn't appear to be anything connected to the EBS pin though....

On my ebikeling controller that looks similar to that, I was instructed to connect my EBS pad to ground, and it works! You'll probably have to test on an actual ride down a hill with the battery half full. There's a delay after pulling the brake lever before regen kicks in, and regen isn't very strong when the battery is full.

Oh awesome - I wasn't sure if this is the case or not! I'm about done building a replacement battery as the ebay special I bought 6 years and over 10,000km's later is starting to show it's age. And only has 2000mah cells as well.

Once done building it I'm going to re-wire the bike and try the EBS to ground trick.

Cheers!
