Sometimes during my bicycle trips I wish I had an e-bike or at least some kind uphill assistant, which would give help to climb steepest upward slopes. I once built into my bike a hub-motorized wheel, but after one summer I uninstalled it. It was too tempting to switch on the assistant also on the plain. Especially when batteries went bad during the first winter, I went back to being a traditional cyclist. But still I'm tempted to find a helper solution for the moments when I'm out of energy.
Please have look how I built for myself from scrap material a practically free gadget.
My device is very easy to install on and off so I can borrow my cordless drill driver to that purpose too.
