    Hills are the main reason I’d love an ebike. I bike pretty regularly, but I’m simply not capable of going 20+ up a big hill. I live in a ridiculously hilly area, trying to ride on the roads as is would be borderline suicidal

      Used to bike 12 miles most days for my commute several years ago. All hills. On the real steep ones I’d be going 2-3 mph up them and 35mph down them. Pedal assist would have been real nice back then. I would drive in on meeting heavy days just so I wouldn’t be sweaty in front of clients in the morning.
