It helps to remember to downshift before coming to a stop on a hill. The other two factors are how well developed your "recumbent legs" have gotten and the familiarity with the particular bike you ride. I have an Haluzak Horizon and don't remember having a particularly hard time starting out on hills but by the time I bought it, I had several years and many thousands of miles on a recumbent.
