Does anyone have anything to add about adding an electric boost to a Sun recumbent?
I'm looking for help in the San Francisco/Berkeley area, to do that somehow.

I'm just learning to ride the first model Sun recumbent (round curve-bent tubes, not made any longer) as its original user switched to a BART-able bike, and I needed a way to ride without arm/hand pressure after carpal tunnel surgery failed.

I'm finding starting up hills is impossible, and I get stuck on streets too narrow for starting downhill and pulling a U-turn.

A little electric boost would suffice, I can spin fast enough to climb moderate hills -- once I'm moving.
