My mom has a chinease electric "assist" bike. It's an incredibly heavy yellow contraption with pedals.
However, the cool part about is that both brakes provide a boost to the battery when you brake. I've been looking at various dynamo hubs and I don't see any of them integrating braking, are there some no-name brands I should be looking at?
Shimano Nexus, Schmidt don't have any brake attachments. I found a Sturmey archer hub with a hub brake, but it doesn't seem to provide a boost to the dynamo.
Are hubs like this really only available for custom oem bikes? Or is this some sort of a marketing feature fooling me?
