    Anyone ever tried to implement regenerative braking?

    I have a kt controller 24a, for the recumbent tandem, it specifies "light regeneration" on the label. I have noticed it kicking in on longer descents when the battery isn't full. It's operated by switched brake lever. Not travelled far enough to fully test it.

    I run a 36v bs01b, I fitted a 42t front cog to cope with the steep hills on bridleways around me, there have been no issues with any hills on roads, even pulling my trailer.

    I'm also the proud owner of an ikea trailer. I pull it with my converted hybrid bbs01b, 42t front cog for the hills round here. I recently put a kit on my old brompton, tried the trailer with that, works a treat, certainly on the flat, not as much poke on the hills as the hybrid. I'd say stick a...

    Courier Chaos

    Just had 5ltr paint delivered. Can was properly dented, lucky it didn't burst. Could have been packed better by Rawlins, treated with care by FedEx. It's obviously been chucked about.
