that hub motored bikes can't climb hills without overheating or stalling....
Really?
I don't think so
The beach below is Newport, north Pembroke coast. We'd parked the van just outside, then ridden part or the Gwyn valley before coming up and over Mynydd Caragog. A climb of about 220 metres ove about 1.5 miles. Then down to lunch in the town before going out to the beach for ice cream.
Gotta tell ya, lifes tough in West Wales
As you can see, our bikes are not configured to be light weight. The BPM and the Ezee are awesome. On the climb leading to this spot there were some really stiff gradients leading to some wheel scrub on looser bits. But this is why we carry the handlebar boxes containing tool kits,lights, wallet, 'phone, gloves etc etc. Puts a bit of weight over the wheel and helps the sprung/unsprung weight ratio on the forks.
