I’m not sure I get your point. What do you disagree with?
My point was hybrid regen is always on (unless accelerating), if it wasn’t, the car would basically coast in neutral. I’m pretty sure hybrid car designers did the math and examined use cases to discover its more beneficial to recover some energy and not coast as much vs coast as much as possible and ONLY regen when breaking. Lightly breaking applies more regen force. Or are you saying they do this for the feeling only and regen is a byproduct… if it even matters?
I’m not certain, but I’d say applying a little drag to regen on an ebike going downhill will be more beneficial than allowing the riders to go as fast as possible downhill. They could still turn it off, just like I can put a hybrid car in neutral and skip the drag, but why would I do that?
