We've got hills here in Norwich including the steepest being Gas Hill at 1 in 5 and I live at the top of the 1 in 7 Ketts Hill.
<250watt hub motors (legal UK max) in the front wheels are doing the business here, even the motorised cargo bikes on Amazon and Argos delivery routes such a NRC truks and 8freight rear loaders and my own front loaders.
