I'm also guessing the effort doesn't go to waste, but instead does go to some energy generation....but by the looks of the thing, it's primarily just pedals acting as throttle on an electric bike.
...But this phrase gives me doubt on that rather easy dismissal:
"Stefan Gulas has developed a system that amplifies the effort you put in by a factor of 50, meaning you can accelerate quickly and maintain high speeds with very little effort."
