regenerative breaking on a bicycle ? not on mine thank god. I often coast down hills, last thing i want to have to do is pedal so the damn bike don’t brake
No one would do that. On mine it’s a switch but most are wired to the brakes as you mentioned. The main benefit is really just that you get brakes for free without any wear, though it is only generally possible on direct drive hub motors.
I have a hybrid with regenerative breaking. I’m not sure how well it compare to a theoretical regenerative ebike setup, but at least with my car I never need to use the gas even when the regenerative ebike is on.
That, and when I do give it gas it automatically decreases the regenerative breaking, which I imagine wouldn’t be too hard to implement on a bicycle.

I’m not sure why anyone would design it like that. I would expect it to be linked to the brake handles, not active at all times.
