Ajax....we flogged this concept to death on a thread about a year ago.
It solves the engineering problems associated with providing a chain drive on a small folder but most decided that the efficiency losses were not acceptable.

The flaw is that one can spin the pedals easily with little resistance when the battery is very low or flat, but you still won't be going anywhere because an average human cannot generate enough electrical power to accelerate an e-bike from a standstill.

It's always been a useless concept on a human assisted vehicle, it only works on ic-electric vehicles such as diesel electric locomotives.
