The goal of this project was to design an bicycle with a mechanical regenerative braking system similar to the KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) seen on modern F1 cars.

FEA was conducted to ensure the bicycle could withstand loads of 200 lbs, and all other significant loads were also accounted for.

Regenerative system was designed and tested to provide an additional 6 FPS of thrust upon takeoff.

Full system was designed in Fusion 360.
