Bikes handle much differently from diesel trains. This may work for some but I can see it occupying some kind of uncanny valley in the riders' psyche for a while.
You ever ride in one of those bar on wheels things you find in touristy places?
It's got "barstools" along both sides and the passengers/revelers are supposed to turn the pedals under their seats while the bartender/driver steers.
In reality, the pedaling charges the battery somewhat but the vast majority of the battery power comes from being plugged in at a charger before the ride. You can't actually rely on a bunch of drunk sods to keep it moving.
