I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

Yes, for the riding you do.
You ain't lived until you have experienced a bidirectional throttle.

You ain't lived until you have experienced a bidirectional throttle.

I've thought about regen, but the roads are completely flat around here, and I rarely use my brakes.

I can ride up to ½ hour straight without touching the brakes or handlebars.
Even the Grin guy says the best you can hope for is about a 10% return.

I've thought about welding my clutch, but adding a mid-drive is more funner.

You could add a third motor with a front wheel hub drive.

I considered using a front wheel hub as a second motor on my rear hub bike. It would act as a spare, but I'd do it mostly for something to cobble on.

You could mount the front hub motor so that it spins in the opposite direction... Now that'll give you some braking!
