The EFW flywheel is an All-in-wheel: Flywheel, Continuously
Variable Transmission gear, Electric Motor and wheel.
The core is the static axle around which is an electric hub
motor, as in regular hub motor bicycles. Beside the motor or
around it is a flywheel, which can be connected or
disconnected
to the wheel through a CVT and a clutch (for
total braking)
Basically this is taking the Electric Flywheel Hybrid Hybrid one
step further, or putting the parts of the Flywheel bicycle in
one package. (See links)

You will have too much trouble trying to make the car
go around a curve. That's why all other flywheel
energy-storage designs mount the flywheel
horizontally, not vertically. |

What [Vernon] said … gyroscope effect. |

The builder of the flywheel bike in the first link doesn't seem to be having any problems. |

but maybe they're just not showing the problems... |

So you're increasing your rolling and unsprung
weights. Those are both generally frowned upon
with regards to vehicle handling. |
