> Probably by article 1.3.010: "The bicycle shall be propelled solely, through a chainset, by the legs (inferior muscular chain) moving in a circular movement, without electric or other assistance."
Well that just says you need to build your regenerative braking system into the chainset. Use of stored energy is obviously allowed or else you couldn't make use of gravity when on a hill.
> Even if not, there's a rule along the lines of "any technical innovation must be pre-approved,"
What innovation? Mechanical energy storage is ancient technology.
