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?


the Bionx system I was looking at a while back has regenerative braking
activated by a switch on one of the brake levers, it can also be setup
in a training mode where the regen is on all the time to provide a
resistance to pedalling, so that would be like cycling up a very long
hill
