In theory, this could be a help. But I'd imagine it's better for cargo bikes or bakfiets and used in flat places with a lot of stop and go riding. I'm not sure I'd want to add 8 lbs to my front wheel.
The video while it did show the braking was not really convincing. I'd like to see a longer shot of the bike coming to a stop and then starting up again without the rider pedaling, to show how much power was retained. It would be nice to get a better explaination of what is going on.
