Ciao tranto50. Where are you? I have a small place high above Lucca (Gromignana). Close to sea level climb to 1600 ft in 5 km. My FIAT uses 25L/100 km to climb up. Wonder what power of battery it would take on an e-bike!! Did see a guy this summer biking really fast up so I guess is possible. On my way next week to prepare for the olive harvest. Tough life! Long past thinking of biking there.
