Trailers are where the mass is.
That is where the assist can be placed. Start. Stop. Start. Stop.
Retrofitting is easy.
It just needs a variable go/stop pedal signal.
It can even use lead-acid....
The key is large capacitor storage to buffer transition with individual battery heat monitoring to prevent failure.
A little push goes a long way in reducing wear on other components.

In 2006(?) I once tried to patent a 3-rotor electric motor. Damn the "disruptive technology" full speed ahead. No company would return a call. Even the Japanese.
Designed to optimize the electro-magnetic interaction surfaces so that every amp could be turned into kinetic energy and/or every 'wasteful' braking condition could do the same. It will eat anything thrown at it and poop gold. Hybrid with appropriate flywheel mass and PTO to battery/other. No more stuck drill bits with the motor smoking in counter-torque. Even tiny it can turn into a hammer drive when spun up if needed. Every electron accounted for. My idea of near-zero-friction "air bearings" is also known as "rifled bearings" and invented long ago. Just missing is the high psi air/oil injection mode.
Plate configuration is much more efficient than a cylinder motor(think cheater bar and the stuff that built stone monuments in the days before modern metallurgy).
And yet we are in 2022 still being sold stones and told it's the best humanity can achieve. Made to break. Like Inuits are being sold ice.
