I would think a 2 cylinder like yours would have more power up hills. If not, maybe get different rollers, but it would seem that a local dealer in rural NY State would have some answers.
I live in a county which calls itself is called "The enchanted Mountains". If I were to compare my area with your beautiful state of Virginia, I would say I am much closer in aspect to the Blue Ridge than coastal plain of VA. So, there are hills and there are hills.
Really, the Roughhouse doesn't truly bog down until after nearing a longer climb...and sharper angle. My dealer isn't in NY State, but Pennsylvania, and perhaps having more hilly areas than I.
BTW: Guess I will call my scooter "Ruffy".
