    It’s not that ebikes are regen braking, it’s that bikes are throwing less brake pad dust into the air due to the lower mass and velocity of the object involved.

    A single brake pad on a car is around the size of the sole of a shoe, and they use 4. A bikes brake pad is around the size of a thumbnail, and you only need 2.
