Regen is in the programming of the control unit. ---

Let up on the throttle - if the cart slows down faster than free roll you have it. NOTE: It can be programmed from nothing to throw you foreward in your seat. For flat land running it’s a PITA and not worth having. If your in hilly country it can be a safety feature that doesn’t allow the car to run away going down hill. ---

So does it charge the battery when costing. I have had a couple of these before. The last one I put a golf cart rear end and 22hp engine. It was noisier than I wanted. So to get something that wouldn’t strand me I was thinking about having a gy6 scooter engine on back that just came on when battery was low but could help charge so I would have a backup system. That way wouldn’t have all the weight of golf cart rear so I would have backup. ---

Yes it does but only about as much as a pimple on an ants behind. ---
