That directly contradicts the parents’ lawsuit, which claims the kids+bike, sans electric assist, wouldn’t have made it up the hill at all. Which I think is complete bollocks, and I agree with you. But, the fact still remains the heavy BSO will go up hills far less often than the e-bike, and therefore be less prone to failing on the descent.
