If the motor is geared it could make a difference. For comparison, most people put out about 100 watts with their legs, but need to downshift to go up hills.

- bb88 11mo agoI was looking for where the gearing was and it doesn't appear to be in the wheels. It looks like it's in the hub. I have a bike with an automatic transmission and it handles steep hills just fine. But generally speaking, I would expect the bike at this price point to have an automatic transmission.
