Regenerative braking on electric scooters: physics, settings, limits, and common mistakes

What regenerative braking on an electric scooter actually is, how it works physically (back-EMF, BLDC motor as a generator), why the real range gain is 2–5 %, not the marketing 15–30 %, why regen drops out at full battery and in cold weather, how to tune its strength on popular platforms (Xiaomi M365 / Mi 4 Pro, Segway-Ninebot Max G30, EY3 in Dualtron / Kaabo / Speedway, Apollo Phantom), and what mistakes to avoid. Built on Battery University BU-409/BU-410, Apollo Scooters engineering posts, Levy Electric measurements, Rider Guide P-setting tables, ScooterHacking wiki, and Henry Stanley's M365 manual.

Electric scooter brakes: disc, drum, electronic, fender

How electric scooter brakes work: hydraulic and mechanical disc brakes (NUTT, Zoom Xtech, Logan, Magura), drum brakes (Segway MAX G30, Lime Gen4) and why sharing operators love them, electronic regenerative braking (KERS) as a mandatory secondary system, fender foot brake on kids' models, regulatory minimums (eKFV § 4: two independent braking systems, 3.5 m/s²; EN 17128:2020; UK trials; ASTM F2641).
