i realize i'm way late on this but the idea of a flywheel is basically as an inertia drive. induce spin, as its spinning it holds onto the energy as inertia. when you pulse and glide your basically doing the same thing.

as you speed up you gain momentum, when you take the car out of gear and just let it roll you are useing up the cars stored momentum/inertia
