NOVELTY - The vehicle i.e. motorcycle (100), has an electrical accumulator (124) for storing and providing electricity to an electric motor (122). A hydraulic kinetic energy recovery system transmits energy from a front wheel (106) to an electricity generating device to be located separately from the front wheel such that electricity is transmitted from the electricity generating device to the electrical accumulator during vehicle operation. A hydraulic pump i.e. gerotor, is driven by the front wheel to generate hydraulic pressure and operatively connected to the front wheel.    USE - Electric and hybrid powered vehicle e.g. two-wheel vehicle such as motorcycle. Can also be used as a scooter, moped, trike and a car i.e. four wheel-drive (4WD) car.    ADVANTAGE - The vehicle allows a balanced hydraulic kinetic energy recovery system to capture and transmit energy on sides of the front wheel and forks in an easier manner to install and operate in a safe manner with minimal impact on vehicle dynamics, so that the hydraulic kinetic energy recovery system can model operation to obtain superior performance from the electrical accumulator and determine suitability of the electrical accumulator use with a front wheel kinetic energy recovery system. The vehicle allows transfer of power from the front wheel to the electrical accumulator to be accomplished through a rigid drive system internal to a vehicle frame, thus enabling a full range of steering, maintaining vehicle aesthetics and preventing rider injury from exposed front wheel drive parts, and hence providing lightweight, energy transfer efficiency, easy package and cost-effective kinetic energy recovery system equipped vehicle.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The electrical accumulator is a rechargeable electrical accumulator or candidate electrical accumulator i.e. battery cell. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for regenerating energy in an electrical accumulator.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a side view of an electric motorcycle equipped with a front wheel kinetic energy recovery system.
