Surely hills are just about gearing? With 54/16 on 16" wheels, I discovered my lactic threshold on every climb towards the end (that's riding in Cambridge for you: very flat, not good for building tolerance). But I would love to try a Moulton with a wider selection of gears and different hand positions to keep my back from seizing. And for the admiring looks, of course :)

Smaller wheel = less rotational mass, great for everything till you hit a big hill, even with the right gearing.

Inasmuch as I find the Moulton to be the most comfortable and best handling bike I've ridden, they're hard work on the hill of Yorkshire after I hit it.

Mind you, it descent brilliantly to the point of being able to do it no-handed on a bad road.
