Sure... Most of us would call it buying a new bike.

What??

I wouldn't.

What would you do then?

It would help to know what we're working on before coming up with much in the way of suggestions.

I believe Timpo guessed correctly... Lectric XP
Not sure I'd further invest in that $1000 bike... especially the battery.
I say it's time for a mid_drive.

Your only viable option is to see if it is possible to change the front chainring and rear cassette to improve your gear ratio to improve your ability to climb hills. I would contact the manufacturer and find out what your options are for changing the gear ratio.

Changing the motor would be cost prohibitive.

You would be better off buying a bike that specifically meets your needs for climbing hills when hunting. This will not be cheap. The old adage applies here "you get what you pay for".

This begs the question regarding your expectations. Are you trying to just motor up these hills, or are you able and willing to contribute a significant amount of power using the pedals when required?
