There have been a few conversations on ecomodder about using Hub motors for similar project. I don't recall anyone bringing up a chain and sprocket arrangement, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's been discussed here. I'm sure it's been done. I kind of feel like I saw somebody with a pickup truck on YouTube wants to it done something like that maybe for regenerative braking. But I don't recall for sure.
