Apparently regenerative breaking efficiency in bikes is rather limited (small motors / generators, high friction). It still increases the range a fair bit (enough to be a better investment than bigger batteries), but efficiency is still not as high in bikes as in bigger vehicles which can drive more kinetic energy into bigger generators with better individual wheel control

Some paper says ~25% extra range in bikes at the high end vs ~50% energy savings in Japanese trains. Different units for those numbers, but you can infer that trains has much more efficient regenerative breaking because that number indicate a doubled range for the same amount of energy used.

There's entire factions like Randians who disagree with furious intensity

That's like comparing only to a person on a bike downhill

Maybe compare to birds tracking upwards air currents to move while hovering, as they actually maintain a low average energy expenditure while moving

I can confirm you lost the game

Literally just use existing standards (STIR/STUN) with some filtering by source network, etc

You should be clear with the difference between link encryption and application encryption here

Also resistant to a single Vance (yes, that one) due to a pronunciation error during casting
