Recuperation:
The motor can generate energy and charge the battery through the regenerative braking
system, which activates when braking to decelerate or stop. Recuperation begins when you
slightly push one or both of the brake levers, the e-bike begins to slow down because the motor
works like a generator.
If you push more forcefully on the brake levers the you see or feel the brake pads and brake disc
engage, the braking system will do the braking action – and regenerative braking will be
bypassed.
During recuperation the batteries are charged which allows you to increase the distance of a
trip on your battery power. Use recuperation to slow down instead of braking with the brake
pads. It will extend the lifetime of the brake pads and brake disks.
