the bike has a flywheel Kinetic Energy Recovery System as seen in formula 1 with the williams team. it stores energy that is otherwise wasted when braking by spinning the flywheel. the flywheels enrgy can the be transferred back to the rear wheel when needed.
The bike was able to travel a maximum of 21 meters using the flywheels power and completely unaided by the rider.
