Doing that would seem to defeat the purpose of the linear motor, since using it as a generator would induce a significant counter-force and slow its repositioning of the wheel to the desired location. Remember, this all must happen extremely fast for the linear motor concept to work as a suspension.
I wonder if that power usage they mention is really true, or perhaps a bit optimistic.
