STAT: Only e-bikes with direct drive hub motors are able to use regenerative braking, and only about 5-10% of energy is typically captured using regenerative braking on eBikes, with higher capture possible on more hilly terrain with more braking. ( source) Throttle Mode and Pedal-assist Charging
No. The sensitive electronics of an ebike are also protected from rain and splash water. However, it goes without saying that you should never immerse the motor or battery in water. It is therefore vital to avoid puddles that are too deep. The battery of an ebike consists of very sensitive components. The energy storage works most effectively in a temperature range of 20 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius. At temperatures as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius, performance can be impaired. The reason for this is the electrochemical processes inside the battery.

We are not necessarily the climate experts for Nebraska 😉 Furthermore, we don’t know how warm it can get in your garage in summer. Therefore, we can only give general advice at this point. The advantage of a Townie is certainly that Bosch systems are installed in these ebikes. This means that you can assume good workmanship and a high-quality battery management system. In any case, you should avoid direct sunlight over a longer period of time at temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius and more. However, the battery registers this itself. It is equipped with a temperature monitoring system. This allows charging only in the temperature range between 0 °C and 40 °C. Therefore, storage at room temperature and normal humidity is always a good measure. Such conditions generally extend the life of the battery. If you then use it regularly or charge it at least once a month so that it always retains between 30 and 60 per cent of its capacity, you should be able to rely on the battery for quite a long time. There are some bikes that feature regenerative braking, which offers a slight amount of energy to the battery as you brake. div>
