It’s been done...

Can’t find the video - but several year ago someone had made a road going (in the states) commuter - a velo with road wheels which was electrically supercharged, and took pedal input as well. Even when stopped you could pedal and charge the system.

Something like four motors on the drive end, not quite that much on the pedals, but you could pedal downhill whilst regen braking....
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.
