Complete or predominant use of regenerative braking in electric motorcycles rather than hydraulic braking may lead to brake discs and pads that are below an optimum operating temperature. To reduce the risk of accident, an indicator warns motorcycle riders that the brakes are below optimum operating temperature. With this knowledge, riders are prepared to apply extra braking force when slowing down, particularly in an emergency situation. Relative application of the regenerative brake and hydraulic brakes may be controlled to raise the temperature of the brakes so that they are primed.
