It'd take some massive re-engineering to make a flywheel a useful energy storage device again.

I was thinking about this today and it hit me...two clutches. One between the engine and flywheel, and the other between the flywheel and driveshaft. When you want to glide or stop, disengage both
To start the engine, engage the engine one. Prob have to use a hand lever or grow another leg
Consider this prior art (for any patent searches)
