I would very much like a manner to manually adjust how hard the regenerative coasting works, which would sort of be a replacement for gears. If I’m going down a steep hill I’d like to be able to adjust the regen to maximize energy recovery while also managing vehicle speed.
I recently bought an ebike that has peddle assist settings of 1-5. With 1 being lowest and 5 being maximum. These settings essentially act like gears setting the maximum motor power.
In crowded areas I set the speed to 1 so the bike
can’t exceed 15kph, on open roads I set the speed to 5 which is unlimited. I would definitely want this in a car.
What? The foot pedal adjusts power. You don’t need a replacement for gears.
