3 miles, and 1 hill?
Surely this is a joke.

To avoid getting too sweaty, remove as much of your clothing as is legal, and shift to your lowest gear.
If necessary, touch up slightly at the bathroom sink when you arrive, but chances are the downhill will evaporate any signs that you just rode uphill.

Trust me, this will be way easier than you think it is, without any assist.

Motors - and esp. electric motors, tend to add so much weight that they just about compensate for the fact that they are there in the first place.
