KD72201,200A,PM with Regen Kelly $ 319,
KD72301,300A,PM with Regen Kelly $ 369,
KD72401,400A,PM with Regen Kelly $ 439,
KD72501,500A,PM with Regen Kelly $ 519,
KD72601,600A,PM with Regen Kelly $ 599,

Each of the controllers are programmable from 24v to 72v.

I don't think regenerative braking works very well with DC series wound motors, but I don't have any first hand info on that.
