The Rerode R1 and R1+ feature an adjustable Electronic Assisted Braking System (EABS), commonly referred to as regenerative braking. Regen slows the bike when you release the throttle while recovering a small amount of energy back into the battery.

Note: This feature is available on R1 and R1+ models equipped with the current TFT display.

What is Regenerative Braking?

Regenerative braking uses the electric motor to create braking force when the throttle is released.

Benefits include:

• Reduced brake pad wear
• Improved control on steep descents
• Smoother corner entry
• More controlled technical riding
• Small amount of energy returned to the battery

Regen Levels

The R1 and R1+ allow you to choose from five regen settings.

Recommended Settings

• 0% – No regenerative braking.
• 25% – Light engine braking with a natural coasting feel.
• 50% – Balanced braking for everyday trail riding.
• 75% – Strong braking for technical terrain and steeper descents.
• 100% – Maximum regenerative braking for aggressive riding and steep hills.

How to Change the Regen Setting

Step 1

Turn the bike ON.

Step 2

Within the first 10 seconds after turning the key on:

Press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously.

This will open the display settings menu.

Step 3

Scroll down to:

EABS Rating

Press the Mode/Enter button.

Step 4

Select your desired regen level:

• G0
• G1
• G2
• G3
• G4

Press Enter to save your selection.

Step 5

Scroll back to:

Exit

Press Enter to leave the menu.

Step 6

Cycle through the information screens on the display.

A regen icon with the selected level (for example ④) will appear, confirming the setting has been successfully applied.

How the Regen System Works

The Rerode system uses progressive regenerative braking.

This means:

• The faster you're traveling, the stronger the regenerative braking becomes.
• As the bike slows, the braking force is automatically reduced for a smoother, more natural riding experience.

This makes technical riding and downhill sections feel predictable while preventing abrupt braking at lower speeds.

Why Regen Doesn't Work Above 85% Battery

If your regen doesn't seem to be working after a full charge, this is completely normal.

The R1 and R1+ automatically disable regenerative braking when the battery is above approximately 85% state of charge.

This protects the battery from receiving excessive reverse charging current while it's nearly full.

A simple way to think about it:

You can't pour more water into a bucket that's already full.

Once the battery drops below approximately 85%, regenerative braking will automatically begin working again.

Frequently Asked Questions

My regen isn't working.

Verify the following:

• Regen is enabled (G1–G4)
• Battery is below approximately 85%
• The setting has been saved correctly
• Your bike is equipped with the compatible TFT display

Which regen setting should I use?

25% – Riders who prefer a natural coasting feel.

50% – Excellent all-around setting for most riding.

75% – Great for technical trails and mountain riding.

100% – Maximum engine braking for aggressive riders and steep terrain.

Summary

• Adjustable regenerative braking from 0% to 100%
• Access the settings menu by holding UP + DOWN within 10 seconds of powering on the bike
• Navigate to EABS Rating to adjust regen strength
• Choose between 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% regenerative braking
• The selected regen level is displayed on the TFT display after saving
• Regen braking is progressive, increasing at higher speeds and decreasing as the bike slows
• Regenerative braking is disabled above approximately 85% battery charge to protect battery health
• Once the battery drops below 85%, regen automatically becomes available again
