Whever gets you out there and riding is what is appropriate for you. I'm glad to hear that you're doing so well with the electric assist. Over time, as you get into better shape (and put a better saddle on your Trek) perhaps you may be able to climb the hills with a heart rate under 200!
Keep on ridin'!
