I don't claim to be an engineering student, why is this a bad idea? Wouldn't he just put a "collector" of energy (like a wind turbine) on the wheels?
It could be an OK idea that just wasn't explained right. Maybe he just wants regen braking but with one wheel for charging and the other wheel + separate battery for power at any given time. Energy would come from pedalling and hills. None of that was explained though
