I'm still in the planning stage of how to upgrade in the future and live in a neighborhood with a few steep hills. Though I'd probably be happy with just not dropping to a crawl when travelling up them...
it helps but it won't offset it.....the to things to totally offset it would be to go to 48v and or a high torque motor.
