The brake lights come on when decel reaches a particular rate, which means it comes on when regen kicks in. Perhaps try driving one?

The engine braking on my 500cc bike is as aggressive, if not more, than my car. And that one's got no decel based brake lights.

Ah didn't know that!

Perhaps try driving one?

Yeah sure I'll go test drive a Tesla without any intention of owning one just to see how regen braking works, good idea. Not sure why you chose to be all passive aggressive suddenly. Also, engine braking on a motorcycle is generally going to be more aggressive than cars, that's simple physics (mass, momentum etc). Not really comparable.

Can you provide more detail on the physics?
