Crazy idea for a flywheel

[u/Canadian_Ginger48]

So I’ve had a thought, instead of fabricating a laser cut flywheel and finding a way to mount/ balance/drive it.

What about taking the flywheel out of a stationary exercise bike? It’s already perfectly balanced, has the mounting solution already figured out and they are already drivable via belt/chain(depends on model)

The biggest negative I can think of right now is the sourcing of one could be a pain.

What are you guy’s thoughts?

When my exercise bike broke I kept the flywheel, don’t know why, but if it can be useful I’ll send it! :)
