Can I fix my brakes so that my momentum is slowed via a spring and the energy is stored until I release them?
Answer:
Well if the "spring" is an incredibly complex hydraulic system, then yes, you could. All UPS trucks work this way now.
There are two commonly used applications for converting braking energy into acceleration energy. Hydraulic storage systems can be used to convert braking energy into acceleration energy. "Engine braking" is another method employed by the Toyota Prius hybrid as any non-accelerator motion is used to recharge the batteries through the electric motor.
