A “fairly powerful” 250 watt hub motor? That’s pretty much the least powerful motor you can find for an ebike and it’s a hub motor to boot. I’m not surprised he was feeling that hill by the end.
I think in the UK, that’s the limit on ebike motors, but are considering upping it to 500W?
A 750W motor can still struggle to go up a steep hill with pedal assist, so I find it weird that’s even a question.

Ya they can fuck right off with 250 watts

I believe that’s correct. 250w could be OK with a good motor on a mid drive, but as a hub, yeah, that’s not going to have a great time with hills.
