[ausev] Regen for brushless DC

[Donovan Becker]

We just had a discussion about why regen isn't used in spiral wound DC motors but I was wondering how the regen in brushless DC differs from the regen in the AC motors.
 
The Vectrix scooter (www.vectrix.com) for example has regen with a brushless DC motor. Is that a risky endeavor such as with other DC's? Is the regen built in like in an AC motor or does it require a special controller such as the Zapi? Most importantly is it practical?
 
Thanx,
 
Donovan
