[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5527407, member: 16430"] Your first 2 questions go hand in hand. Gearing is everything. Typical ebike gearing will require pedaling on hills. Steeper requires more forceful pedaling. Even a 1500w mid drive will require pedaling if it is geared like a normal ebike. If it is geared with a lower top speed, less pedaling is required. Anything numerically lower than 1.2:1 will require pedaling. The bike I built has a 1500w mid drive and is geared single speed. The ratio is 1.22:1 and I'm yet to pedal it, even on the steepest hills. It has a too speed of 12mph and can run that on trails too. My setup would be great on a trike. [/QUOTE]
