I must have left that bit out, yes, I would like this to be a plug in hybrid seeing as how I'm already set up to plug in my electric car at home and at work, because of the added complexity and added motor wear I was thinking it might be worth forgetting about the regen braking and putting a free wheel on the motor so it only spins when it's powered up, advantage would be less drag when the electric was not being used and less motor wear and a simpler design, disadvantage of course would be no regen braking and that I'm not sure who makes heavy duty free wheel ratchets.
