I retired west of Glacier National Park and my old runner's knees couldn't take the hills here. However, with the Currie kit installed, I can ride anywhere. I pedal most of the time, but the assist on the hills is wonderful. The Currie kit has lots of torque.

If I were you, I'd try to get a rear wheel kit, however, get torque arms no matter if you get a front or rear wheel kit. Ampedbikes has a 20-inch kit for front or rear wheel, with SLA batteries, it's just over $500. Hightech bikes offers a 20-inch Aotema front wheel motor for around $330, you'd need to buy batteries and a rack to mount them. There are a lot of other conversion kits, but many are well above your price range. Good luck.

P.S. One other suggestion I would make is that you consider buying an Ezip bike, given your budget constraints. If you've got the room for your folder and a regular bike in your apartment, you can pick up the Ezip Trailz men's bike for $398 at Walmart. http://www.walmart.com/ip/eZip-Trail...i_sku=11988713
