If you extract enough energy from pedaling to charge a battery while also travelling, you’ll definitely end up using more power than less. Which absolutely defeats the purpose.
All these “smart” ideas would already be implemented if they were actually clever and deployable. The reason no one does it is because physics doesn’t work that way.
If I’m riding an electric bike, it’s to make pedaling easier. Why would I want an electric bike that’s harder to pedal?
