Hey Paul

Yes it would be difficult to test a regen with no flywheel to store a bit of momentum. I could set you up with a flywheel if ya want one. I have a few double row pulleys off obsolete equipment that would make a great flywheel for ya. If you are interested let me know what the shaft size is on that motor and I will send ya a split taper bushing and an iron pulley. You would have to bolt the motor to something like the workbench to keep it from flipping over during hard testing.

You know in some vehicles the brake pedal moves a bit before it even starts applying the brakes. The reason being is that movement is used to turn on the brake light "before" you start to slow down. That space could be used for regen without having to tap the hydraulic side of the brakes.

So you do have it set up for separate inputs for throttle and regen, yes?
