Does anyone have any opinions on how well this Voltbike Elegant will handle hills?
8fun 500 Watt rear wheel hub (geared) w/48v battery.
Context: I don't need it to fly up mountains, but I live in San Francisco and want it to do a decent job on city hills. In particular, I need it to provide an easy ride up the hill we live on: 1.5 blocks w/ 16% grade. Steep enough that its a killer on a normal bike.
My reference is my 700w BBS02 mid drive kit w/52v battery. It crushes this hill. I'm looking to get an ebike for my wife, and I expect the 500w wheel motor won't do as well, but looking for opinions.
Thanks!
