Similar to the way electric cars have regenerative breaking, the very attractive Maxwell von Stein, 22, a graduate of The Cooper Union, invented a bike that harnesses your pedaling power. His beta bicycle uses a flywheel (pulled from an old Porsche) spinning between the crossbars to create energy. According to NPR's Science Friday, "The flywheel stores the kinetic energy until Max wants a boost, then he can transfer the energy back to the wheel using a shifter on the handlebars."
