System and methods are disclosed for engaging and disengaging a regenerative braking system of a first vehicle coupled to a second vehicle. In an embodiment, a coupler (e.g., a tow bar) connects the front of a first vehicle (e.g., a towed vehicle) to the rear of a second vehicle (e.g., towing vehicle). The regenerative braking systems includes a motor-generator coupled to a wheel set of the first vehicle and a battery for storing electrical power generated by the motor-generator. The motor-generator is used to apply an accelerating force to the driven wheel set when forward acceleration is needed. The motor-generator is also used to generate electrical power by harnessing the vehicles' momentum to turn the rotor of the motor-generator, which causes a decelerating torque to be applied to the driven wheel set.
