![]() ![]() If you want to ride faster than this, you will need to pedal. Starting from a stop or while using the throttle, you may notice more gentle acceleration from the direct drive motor compared to a bike with a geared hub motor.Īs you pick up speed, the motor will give power assistance to the bike, up to the top speed of 20 mph. Regenerative braking is seamless in the riding experience, and you will likely forget it’s happening at all. What does regenerative braking feel like? Check it out if you are able to do so safely while riding- just remember to only briefly glance down at your display and be sure to stay aware of your surroundings at all times. This is actually power flowing back into your battery! You may even notice your battery readout displaying more bars after periods of braking. You can see this in action on your display when the wattage readout displays ~250W. This added battery charge extends your riding range! Using the direct drive motor as a generator returns some of the energy (that would otherwise be lost) into the battery. When either the front or rear brake levers are squeezed (like when coming to a stop or riding downhill), a signal is sent to the motor controller, which changes the motor into a generator, quickly converting some of the momentum of the bike into electricity to charge the battery. Inside the direct drive motor, copper windings are powered by the battery to drive an outer ring of magnets that spin the wheel, which puts the power in your pedal. This video and article explain how regenerative braking works, how it feels to ride a bike with this feature, and more! Regenerative braking is not available on ebikes with hydraulic brakes. All Rad Power Bikes ebikes with a direct drive motor have this feature-RadCity 3 and 4 , RadCity Step-Thru 3, and RadWagon 3. Regenerative braking is a feature that recharges the battery when the brakes are applied. ![]()
