RadRover 60V 130+ phase amps REGEN
« on: July 06, 2022, 01:25:11 AM »
Pushing 130+phase amps at 60v through the modified 1000w G062 Bafang geared hub eventually broke the clutch  8)
I have now upgraded the clutch solid to take the power more reliably.  Regen braking will now be also functional. This will nicely spare my  Magura MT5E pads from premature wear (rear pads lasted ~500miles).

That's a cool idea. I was reading elsewhere that a geared hub motor can be set up for regen as long as it doesn't have the clutch anymore. I don't remember if there was anything else one needed to do to make the whole thing work properly while applying power or using the regen.
Good job. Let us know how it turns out.  :)
