    @SRD: Unfortunately Dallas Campbell was basically wrong about electric bikes charging up the battery when you brake. Very few e-bikes have regenerative braking, and it's of questionable value for those that do.

    The range increase is only about 10-15%, for considerably increased cost, and other downsides due to the different motor design needed.
