Would this system be legal in professional competition cycling?
No, this violates current UCI rules.
"The front wheel shall be steerable; the rear wheel shall be driven through a system comprising pedals and a chain"
However, the rules do change and have been recently (like the removal of the 3:1 restriction).
Probably not, the UCI operates on a policy of all new tech being forbidden until explicitly authorized.
