Thankyou so much for that . I am assuming then that you have the boardman bike . I am thinking then I would be better getting the carrera crossfuse as it is 400wh and a Bosch system it is 24 kg weight though. But someone said that is negligible compared to the persons weight .
E-bike recommendation please

I'm biased as I have 2 Cube bikes, have a look at their range
Thank you where do they sell them and what do you like about them . I want 50 miles out of one battery and power for the steepest hill

Cubes are generally some of the best value Bosch bikes.
Tredz is one retailer, there are others.
They have a selection of 500wh Cubes.
You keep on asking the same question, but your requirement is power hungry and there is no magic wand for that.
For your proposed use you want a bike with the biggest 625wh battery which are less common, which equals more money, or a dual battery bike which is more common but still lots of money.
Riese and Muller offer several bikes with the option of a dual battery.

As others have mentioned what you are after almost sounds like a moped and not bike. Woosh bikes gives you some theoretical numbers on speed up a hill on a large motor, but even they say take 10% off that figure if there is any wind.

Also are you actually doing any 50 mile roads currently with steep hill? Be realistic about how/what you want the bike to do.
IME the only way to possibly achieve that is to have the assist usually switched off on the level and down grades

I bought my Cube Attention non Ebike from James Cycles in Rotherham & bought my Cube Acid from Leisure Wheels in Hemel Hempstead as they were offering the biggest discount at the time, there is no information in your profile as to where you are so no idea if either is helpful or useful to you.
As to whether you can get 50 miles at full chat on one TBH no idea, I mostly ride on Eco, only switching to any of the higher settings if I feel necessary with a mixture of riding I can get 30 miles on 1 bar, it has 4 bars but whether they are all equal is another matter. Looking at your requirements I would suggest you get a Bosch motored crank drive with a 500 battery & then buy a 2nd battery, however I doubt you will get that in budget not new anyway.

How big are the hills are you thinking about and how steep?
About 100 yards each at most and I am not sure how to explain the inclines . But like cycling in Wales. 🤣
