Here is how to disable Assist/Regen when you don't need it, such as when you are trying so keep from depleting the battery charge on long hills, or when you don't want background charging, or when you are going downhill and don't want to regen.

Take the 2 wires from the clutch pedal, run them thru a toggle switch and you're done, now anytime you don't want to use assist or regen, just flip the switch and IMA is disabled. :idea:

IMA

Another use for this Mod is to shut off the IMA on " Bad Traction Days ".
Alot of regen braking isn't good on slick roads. ( Been there! ).

And if you're considering this Mod, a few more wires and this Mod can be combined with the FAS Mod.
