Hi Ogakor:

___Given your climb, I do not think you will be happy with the Insight. There are some nuances about driving for high FE with steep grades that are not very pretty and I do not know if most would take the time vs. pedal to the medal all the while watching a pack’s capacity and longevity dwindle on a daily basis until failure at some point in the future. I would be very very careful what you wish for in your particular locale given the terrain.

___Good Luck
