Boosted Boards have regen, and in typical use, it extends range by about 10%. It was an incredibly intuitive system; instead of brakes, you regen your way to a stop.

I don't see how this would be any different. Or, it's certainly not "moronic"

The Boosted board imbued the word "moronic" with layers of meaning that it previously lacked. In particular its regenerative brake, with its penchant for sudden disengagement, literally killed riders.
