Kind of a myth since that depends on the engine. Some are slow, some aren't: same as 1920 diamond frame bikes. But anyway; in this thread the engine is a combination of human power *and* a hub motor, is it not?
Excellent addition! I had an Electric Sierra Cycles 36 V hub motor installed in my fully enclosed recumbent trike, and hills are no problem at all!
