For the type of cash yur wanting to spend...no hub motor will be hill friendly unless ya sink another $900+
into a worthy battery and another $400+ dollars to get a proper controller.
I have both mid drive and hub drive.
My hub drive is a 1500W voilamart cheapo kit that i got a better controller and battery for and it still prefers the flats over the hills and tops out at 47MPH...it does pull uphill better than it did in stock form, it just gets pissy when i introduce it to hills
My mid drive is a lunacycle.com BBSHD 1000W with offroad programmed controller and the display is an eggrider V2 which allows me to adjust all
parameters of the controller settings. eggrider.com for more details on that.
Now the mid drive is like a mountain goat it doesnt complain about hills, it just eats them up.
When i am in PAS 1 i only travel from 9 to 12MPH and on a good day with no head winds i can get over 90 miles on a little under 3/4
of the charge so that is a plus.
On the offroad setting i get maybe 50 miles per charge but it will take the bike up to 33MPH.
So really you'll have to decide what world ya wish to ride in and either build or buy.
Just so ya know though mate, when buying be sure you'll get help if needed...when building be sure to have plenty of spare parts in case
of supply chain drops..if that makes any sense
I hope all that helps ya in some way or another.
