What if the brakes on your ride could do more than help you stop? Imagine a system that saves energy, reduces wear on your brakes, and makes every ride smoother. At VIDA, we’ve taken this vision further with the VIDA V2 Electric Scooters. Thanks to our advanced regenerative braking system, every stop becomes a step toward smarter riding. Let’s pull back the curtains and reveal how it all works.

The Magic Behind the Motion

First, let’s review the basics. A motor uses electric power to rotate wheels, while a generator produces electricity when it rotates. These components serve opposite functions.

When you close the throttle on the VIDA V2, the motor starts functioning as a generator and produces electric power. This regenerated power is then returned to the battery. It’s like turning every deceleration into a recharge session! By harvesting the otherwise lost kinetic energy, this system helps you slow down resourcefully.

Advantages of Regenerative Braking

Improves efficiency

Every time you slow down, this energy conversion boosts the scooter’s performance by incrementally recharging the battery.

Extended brake life

Regenerative braking causes your brakes to endure less heat during the braking process, significantly extending their lifespan.

Easy maintenance

As this system reduces wear on the brakes, you need fewer repairs, which saves you time and money.

Tips to Make the Most of Regenerative Braking

Decelerate slowly

When you are about to stop, ease off the throttle gradually and early so that the regenerative braking can do most of the work.

Use slopes to your advantage

As you approach a slope, smoothly reduce throttle input to engage regenerative braking, converting your descent into valuable battery power.

Choose your riding mode

Each VIDA V2 Electric Scooter variant offers different riding modes: Eco (0-40 km/h), Ride (0-65 km/h), Sports (0-90 km/h), and Custom modes that allows you to customise regeneration levels. Test them out to see which mode provides the right balance between performance and energy efficiency for you.
