You've gotta zig zag, and that chain ring sure is big for doing this. 50T is too big for a hilly city, IMO.

The bag on the handle bar added additional weight and not aero! That must be the reason why you two couldn’t make it over the hill!

😂 to be fair parth I think saw some cars coming but I definitely should have been able to make it over. I wanted the bag to make it a realistic scenario

🤣 I don't plan to go up these gradients all the time. I've found the 50T to be good overall for riding around Seattle. This was just a fun challenge but I did change my P line to 44T for riding in HK

@@BestSideCyclingBrother, in your own experience, so is 50t or 44t when you ride, is much more easy or much more comfortable to ride?

Would you be able to climb this hill? What did you think of our effort? What's the steepest thing that you've climbed?

The steepest hill for me is still Heart Attack Hill on the Tolt Pipeline in Woodinville. I'm really curious to know if your commuter e-bike can make it up as that hill is on my commute and is really killer. Out of about 100 attempts, I've made it up twice on a gravel bike.

Heart attack Hill is hard enough on a MTB. I did it once doing Stinky Spoke.

I thought small wheeled bikes had the advantage on hills over large wheeled bikes. He booked it up the hill on his road bike.

Haha, the Brompton weighs a whole LOT more than a road bike + he was clipped in versus not which is a huge difference for these sprint efforts.

For sure it'd be able to make it over with the effort we were giving it. Though sometimes the front wheel lifts as you ride this steep so I wonder how that would work out with the front hub motor.

The internal gears have too much drivetrain friction and your chainring is too big. China has a tri fold with a external 9 speed

You look like you weigh less than 75kg. Nobody weighing 90kg or more would make it up this hill. Even on a T line. I have a Tern Verge X11. And its a greqt hill climber. Dont know if I could get up this hill on it. But I wouldnt be screamimg the place down like you either lol.
