Same. Regularly go up a 10% grade.

Except for when I'm towing kids in a trailer. 70kg extra means that the motor will drop out when speed drops below 5-6 km/h, because it's a hub motor. 250W isn't quite enough in that situation. Am contemplating upgrading to a longtail now that the kids are older, and will definitely get a mid-drive if I do.
