"In this video Justin does a deep dive explaining the most exciting innovation to ebike hub motors in decades. Freegen is a novel modification to motor design that allows geared hub motors to both freewheel with no drag AND ALSO do regenerative braking. There is no longer a trade-off of one or the other. And it does this without any of the extra complexity of a traditional controlled clutch.

This new idea from the Israeli company Chargebike not only solves that problem, it also provides an a proportional regen based on how hard the lever is squeezed AND it can maintain that braking force even when the batteries are fully charged, something not possible with traditional controls."

**Grin unveils groundbreaking geared hub motor with regen braking**
"…its braking benefit is often more important than its efficiency gains."

**"**Grin Technologies, a Vancouver-based electric bicycle parts manufacturer, teamed up with MAC to improve the motor. The result is the GMAC, which offers a new clutchless design and thus enables regen braking, even with a smaller, lightweight geared hub motor."
