That's crossed my mind once or twice, but ultimately I don't want to put myself in a situation I can't readily get out of if I can help it. So I've been holding off.

I'll definitely still be trying to go as far as I can up the hill under my own power as I can, but once I hit my limit I want the assist. I want the goal to be to slowly improve how far up I can get on my own.

But it's gonna half to be baby steps.

I also bought an ebike. They are incredible for days you aren’t feeling well or need to grab extra groceries. Good luck with your conversion project! I bet you’ll love it

I have a grocery store juuuuust at the ~15 minute walk range of my home. It's also up a giant hill. Nowhere near as bad, but bad enough for me to say "fuck it, I don't have the energy to walk or bike", and I take my car up for a few small things when I absolutely could have just walked.

So I'm hoping to reduce that as well, and take the bike for small trips like that.
