The load itself was 150 lbs. (not including the bike or the battery). We actually ran the dual Magic Pie (front and back wheels both had Magic Pie hub motors) the day before this footage in preliminary testing and it had (as you figured) more torque. When we went out to film the dual pie, the motors fried the battery before we could even leave the house.
Smaller diameter wheels would also have more torque.
We wanted to test each system on the same diameter wheel (26").
I wonder how well it would make it up the hill if you stuck an additional magicpie hub motor on your front wheel, Or if you reduce the diameter of either wheel that has a magic pie motor on it. It could increase the torque.
The bike weighed in (with the extra load and battery, at 160 lbs?
Did you have the controller set at full or in economy power mode for this test hill climb?
