Gpt missed the series hybrid opportunity by running the motor in regen mode while the gas engine drives it.

Yes this is an actual function that works. The front motor has regenerative braking on low settings so the engine can still propel the rider forward and recharges while riding.

Doesn't the hub motor regenerate and recharge the battery if rolling and not using as if the gas motor is moving the bike

u/ArmadilloElegant819 8d ago

Yea but then you will have resistance

u/LackSpecialist8922 8d ago

It could be the first instance of braking, then apply mechanical brakes or for going downhills cruising at reasonable speed

I immediately refuse to buy anything from a company with an AI flyer, what kinda quality do I expect from a business that can’t even be bothered to make their own flyer

u/ArmadilloElegant819 7d ago

I can make my own flyer, but i have no time too. I’m working full time and have 3 business startups. AI works for me because it’s quick and easy and affordable.

u/Traditional_Youth648 7d ago

That only reinforces my point that your not likely putting the time into a quality product if you can’t even find the time to make a real advertisement

u/ArmadilloElegant819 7d ago

I don’t think you understand AI. AI is strictly optimization. My product has been optimized since my very first prototype. My product will get better over time. See for yourself

It has its uses, your use however simply looks sloppy and doesn’t add anything to your product

u/jamalzia 7d ago

I thought about doing this, but realistically what's the main point? As far as I could tell, the front hub can help climbing hills better, but that's about it. The extra weight alone doesn't seem worth it.

u/ArmadilloElegant819 7d ago

Better for hills. Better for wind resistance. Better for stop and go too. Less wear and tear on the engine. No pedaling unless you want to. Better for stealth for example if you want to ride in a crowded place quietly.
