Have you heard of the two-bricks theory?
Instead of an electric bike, get a normal bike, and carry around two
bricks, to simulate the weight of the batteries. When you come to a
hill, just throw away the bricks, and, with the lighter weight, you
will sail up, just as if you had a motor,
Of course, this won't work for the second hill.
But then, with the usual capacity of batteries, neither will an
electric bike.
I suggest a Harley-Davidson, if you want your vehicle to be
motorised.
