Hi everyone!
I'm new to e-bikes and I'm looking for a folding one (because of the storage space) capable of going through some steep streets.
Are there any specs that I should be paying close attention to in order to make a good decision? Or better yet, Do you know any folding e-bike that I should be looking at?
I live in Mexico so my plan is to buy it in USA and bring it down to Mexico myself.
I'll be doing a 6mi ride with some pretty steep sections, and hopefully, the following image will help to demonstrate those sections that I'm talking about:

Here in Mexico we don't have too many e-bike options and seems like the best one is one called Playa from Moovers e-bikes and it only offers the following specs:

Do you think those specs are enough or do I need a better hub-motor on a folding bike for steep streets?
Thanks for the help!
