    True, but a hub drive motor doesn’t have a transmission and may be geared for fast speeds vs low speed climbing. Also without a transmission there’s no clutch friction zone which could help an engine start up the hill. I’d be really interest to see a comparison video about this.

    Edit: on second thought, my cvt didn’t even have a clutch. Now I’m even more interested to see a video comparing electric motor, cvt, and manual clutch transmission.
