Do E- bikes charge as you pedal?

Yes, some e-bikes have a feature called regenerative braking that can charge the battery as you pedal. Regenerative braking is a mechanism that captures some of the energy that would otherwise be lost during braking and uses it to charge the battery.

However, it's important to note that not all e-bikes have this feature. Regenerative braking is more commonly found on higher-end e-bikes, and it typically doesn't generate a significant amount of power compared to charging the battery from a power outlet.

So while some e-bikes can charge the battery as you pedal, it's not a universal feature and shouldn't be relied upon as the primary way to charge the battery.
