I looked and say that it is not against the rules to link to other forums; so here goes.
I have been following a thread on bike forums at http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/808949-My-test-rides-of-several-e-bikes-in-San-Francisco-illuminating-and-some-surprises! where a person is having a very specific problem with her e-bike. I do not know her; but, I felt that the people here would be better suited to help her than the bike forum crowd (who are generally suspicious of e-bikes anyways).
I directed her to this forum, where she will probably get better answers. However, if anyone has anything to add to the discussion going on there I would be interested in the solution too. Living in Ashland, OR (when in the states) I know that the solution for getting an e-bike up a steep hill is to pedal harder. She is looking for more advice than that.
