1. A vehicle having a first and a second wheel, wherein the first wheel is attached to a first axle and the second wheel is attached to a second axle, the vehicle comprising:

  • a regenerative braking system for applying a regenerative braking force to at least the first wheel;

    a friction braking system for applying a friction braking force to at least the second wheel; and

    a controller configured to determine an occurrence of a braking imbalance between the first and second wheels based on the friction and regenerative braking forces being applied to the first and second wheels, the controller detecting turning of the vehicle and generating signals that cause a reduction in the regenerative braking force at the first wheel when the braking imbalance occurs.
