I can just see myself in the next energy crunch, skulking along
at night with my portable flywheel/generator/motor and magnetic
contacts (called leeches in the future vernacular), looking for
some unprotected flywheel to bleed down.

or

How about some kind of emergency windup on the flywheel, a gear
and ratchet rope/pulley similar to lawn mowers.  A folding arm to
throw the rope over, and a loop in the end for one's foot.

Let's see, step-lift 200lbs, 2ft high, how many times to get the
car to a spinup station?  Yo! Mama!  Forget that diet!  This is
one time pounds are positive!
