Jyden, that's not what you want for pulse and glide. You want to glide as long as possible, and aggressive regen will drastically lower your glide distances.

Then you wind up losing all of the inefficiencies that go from converting momentum into battery power, and those involved in converting that power back into momentum again the next time you pulse.

It'd be better to "free-wheel" the glide, losing as little speed as possible.
