A very interesting idea. The pedals turn a generator, rather than a chain. This seems to me to open up excellent possibilities with recumbent bikes without the issue of long chain runs. On a recumbent trike you caould pedal at constant cadence constantly, even while stationary.
However, the fear is that this way of powering a bike may be rather inefficient - plus of course it can only work by electricity, whereas a conventional electric bike can be used like any bike and pedalled home without electricity.
Nevertheless, I like it.
