It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

True, but a hub drive motor doesn't have a transmission and may be geared for fast speeds vs low speed climbing. Also without a transmission there's no clutch friction zone which could help an engine start up the hill. I'd be really interest to see a comparison video about this.
Edit: on second thought, my cvt didn't even have a clutch. Now I'm even more interested to see a video comparing electric motor, cvt, and manual clutch transmission.
Your CVT most like had an automatic, centrifugal clutch.
