No regen available. Don't want it with a standard series motor anyway. Don't really need it.

Very few do it... Otmar is a really bright guy and I wouldn't want to bet I could duplicate his work... but here is an article how the Zilla designer got it to work:

Thanks but seems to complex. Know thinking of instlling PM alternator that would cut in, by reley conected to brake elite. Do u think this is realistic.

I have heard of people doing that, but the regen is pretty weak.

The most realistic way of regen is either AC motor and controller.
Or, a good sepex motor with interpoles...
Any other way just gets too hokie
