Do they or can they reverse the flow when going downhill to recharge the
battery? Like the electric trains up and down the Blue Mountains putting
power back into the grid?


I'll bet they don't do regenerative braking. It'd add
significantly to the cost for very little gain. Most bikes don't
do much braking at all compared with higher speed, higher mass
vehicles.
