I mean pedaling would recharge the battery. So you could go for a longer ride (say cross country) and alternate between charging and depleting the battery, just like in a hybrid car.

section about it getting sweaty could have mentioned EBikes as a potential solution. I understand they don’t want to piss off cycl

I don't think you'd get any useful amount of charge back from doing this. If you have the legs of steel required to do this, you might as well just ride normally on a normal, less heavy bike and get more mileage for your oatmeal.

Ebikes are great for climbing, and I'd be willing to recharge a bit on the flats or downhill if it was reasonably productive. I just don't know how productive they could be.
