Not sure if they do the model anymore, but the Orbea Gain seems decent.
My partner's father took up cycling about 18 months ago at the age of 72 and also lives in quite a hilly area. He bought a flat bar Gain, and has really enjoyed it so far with no real issues. He put over 8000 km on it during 2021 and has lost an incredible amount of weight!
