Rear wheels charging a battery pack looks too much like a perpetual motion machine to me. Something has to make the rear wheels turn, and remember - NSTAAFL.

As long as you like the capacity, I guess it's a good thing. I'd want to be able to haul 8 foot lumber. Personally, I want a little Ranger-size pickup for that kind of stuff.
