General Operation
z
Motor Braking
the top speed of the Anvil is limited to 25 mph. The motor will engage
to limit the top speed of the vehicle. The motor acts as a generator, transferring some of
the excess energy into a charging for the batteries.
z
Regenerative Braking
the Anvil will also apply some slight motor braking while
stopping. A slight extra force may be felt while coming to a complete stop. This indicates
a transfer of some of the excess energy back into the batteries.
