>> Introduction. e.g. hammers, away from the pedal-crank bearing. Generator mode (recuperation) Your smart ebike is equipped with a so- called regenerative brake. This technol- ogy allows you to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. When you apply the brakes, the electric motor acts as a gener- ator (generator mode).
