Electric motor assist for a recumbent bike

[zhaan]

I live in a hilly area. During the summer, it's difficult to climb the hills. Does anyone know of any electric motor kit that helps a bike rider up a hill?

TIA

Zhaan, while I don't know from personal experience, I have heard from several bike dealers who know their stuff that BionX is the best. It adds weight, about 16 lbs. or so, but I've been told that it is VERY quiet, and just gives the rider the feeling that they are bionic as they climb! I believe they run in the $2K range. Hope this helps! Where are these hills you're climbing??

Veronica, I live in the Sandia Mountains so it's very hilly.
