It is harder to go up hills if you have a "speed" controlled bike.. typically if I am riding hills, I will lower the speed of my bike so that the peddling is more free.. These bikes are designed without a "speed" control, so it would operate on the same principle as a dirt bike, or track bike..

meaning, that it would operate at normal the same way that I would have to achieve by shifting down in gears to compensate for less peddle resistance,, do to incline..

That doesn't necessarily mean it would be easy though.. ofcourse, it may take time to get used to it,, but it would be relatively easier than if I was on my 18 speed,, in 10th or 12th gear.. eeeekkk.. that hurts.
