Do any of these e-bikes have any sort of regeneration circuitry, whereby your time spend pedaling also helps recharge the batteries? Or is pedal power just not enough to make a significant recharge? Or would that add too much pedal effort where otherwise the effort would be acceptable at a given speed, gear, and grade change (i.e. make it feel like you're pedaling uphill when you're on flat or even downhill grade)?
