    ah yeah i live around seattle so i understand the need for hill-climbability, my bike was not cheap at all and it handles all the hills around here like a beast. if you ever get an opportunity to try out a 1000w ebike i think that would be able to cover the pitfalls you’re talking about, but i do agree it is a bit of an investment to get started, i definitely wouldn’t have my bike if i wasn’t able to sell my car.

      Yeah, we live in Birmingham, Al. It’s in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It’s crazy you go 2 hours south of here and the ground is flat as far as the eye can see. But here you’re either going uphill or downhill.
