I have a 36v 20 ah set up on a BMC motor and am thinking about climbing this hill!
Thanks, Josh K.

just for the climb-
7700 foot rise averaging 6.7% for 20.5 miles?
180 lb rider 75 lb bike?
628 watts for 74 minutes to average 15mph
do all your pedalling at the bottom, you wont be much help above 12,000 feet unless a good athlete.
Above 12,000, thankfully for the e-motor, the air gets cooler .
with the rider contributing enough to make up for efficiency losses? 1.25 hours at 628 watts looks like ~.8 kwh just for the climb?
(dropping the rider weight to 130 lbs drops motor wattage over 100 watts. Know any good horse jockeys or female bike riders)
