Sounds like an e-bike would make your commute easier! I have no perspective on your situation because I don't know what kind of hills you are talking about or your level of fitness, etc. I'm 68 and 200 pounds and whenever I climb anything I sweat and work hard. I never (rarely) rode to work but I generally climb at least 3000 feet on a 60ish mile ride. If I had to do any significant climbing going to work I would be a sweaty mess when I got there. Happy to be retired now.
