WHAT IS REGENERATIVE BRAKING?

In the case of an electric skateboard with regenerative braking, the principle of operation involves using the electric motors as generators of electrical energy during braking. This process is called regenerative braking or energy recovery.

When you ride an electric skateboard and begin to brake, the electric motors switch to energy generation mode. As the wheels rotate during braking, friction slows down their movement, and the motors utilize this motion to generate electrical energy. This energy is transferred to the electric skateboard's battery, where it is stored and can be used later to power the motors during riding.

In practice, regenerative braking is not able to fully replenish the battery with all the energy consumed during acceleration, but it can contribute to increasing the battery's lifespan and extending the vehicle's range by recovering a portion of the kinetic energy during braking.
