Anyone have any experience with these. I did many internet searches on

electric vs. gas, 2 cycle vs. 4 cycle, etc.. The new area where I will
move next year will make it impossible to ride a bike. So, I'd like
one of these things to help me up the hills. Thanks,

Keep practicing bike riding and the hills will become easier and easier.
Do you know how to shift a 15 speed or higher?

Some older folks with medical problems find riding a bike very good
cardiovascular exercise but if the hills where this poster is moving are a
problem a motor may be the only short term method to overcome that. The OP
may have just left this information out intentionally.

That is how I read the post. I wouldn't try steep hills anymore either
just because of the above reason.

Sorry, I would have to make that decision based on the size of the hills
or go for a stationary bike.
