But is this even possible, to use with the VESC ? And what about regenerative braking, like i have on my esk8 boards, is this even possible with a handgrip ??
Thanks… not much info though… How do these handles work… ? I mean, on my boards i push the throttle forward to brake, how is it done with a handle in practice ?
Yeah they’re not designed to rest in a neutral position (~50% of throttle) so they’re not ideal for regen breaking setup. I was using a manual brake on that board. I’d suggest familiarizing yourself with a new throttle type. There are zero hand thottles used that I’ve seen in esk8.
On cheap hub motor setups: I believe when you use the physical brake, it electronically switches your motor to a generator, applying a small electrical resistance as well. Very inefficient regen compared to a fully electrical brake but physical brakes are necessary at higher brake loads.
