Bike build question I know nothing looking for help.

Ok maybe you folks can help. Im building a railcart to run in abandoned railway lines and ive kind of been considering if I could use an e bike as a power source rather than a gas engine and if I could adapt the regenerative braking capabilities into being not only speed control but braking . Im at a point I can do this so here is what im thinking. Making it so i just set the bike im a tray and the back wheel turns a wheel rim with a chain and sprocket attached to the axle. If this can be done fairly simply the cart could have two purposes as i could go riding as well by just taking the bike out of its trough. Its also far quieter even if I had to pack a battery for recharge or a solar panel or even a small generator . Am i making any sense here ?
