Regen Braking & Rear Brake Lights
Just a general question. I use regen 3 a lot, and therefore very rarely use the brake pedal. Now I don't have eyes in the back of my head, so never know if my brake lights come on (if ever). Does anyone know if they come on automatically ? Just asking, not very important to know. Many thanks- old fisherman
