To give one example, there is a lot of people in rural communities who aren't on the grid e.g. Tiny House or RV communities. For most of those people, it is a choice between using natural gas and/or solar. A lot of them power fridges and airconditioning equipment using gas. Others use solar/wind and lead acid batteries to power their appliances. One of Velkess's products is aimed at being a drop-in replacement for lead acid batteries. So; the causality is that low oil/gas prices damage demand for solar/wind, which then indirectly affects people choosing to pay for lead-acid battery setups or a product like this flywheel. Personally I believe this would be way overthinking the market. This is a problem with analytical people sometimes. I think lots of people will purchase a flywheel battery merely because it is cool and different. I would purchase one partly for that reason, and because I believe a flywheel would (or has the potential to) last much longer than the alternatives. I also think a lot of greenie-weenies are uncomfortable with using lead-acid batteries for their storage as part of the renewable energy paradigm they prefer. There are health risks associated with them also, which environmentalists are going to be particularly paranoid about.
