Gear down. My wife has issues necessitating a trike. We ordered her ICE Adventure with the lowest gearing available, this allows her to spin up hills at slow speeds, sometimes only 1.5 mph. But she gets up them.

My experience is that with my trike (Catrike Trail) the recumbent position allows me ( I have a bum knee) to mash harder and more comfortably than I could with a normal bicycle. I kind’a push back through my hips into the seat. Anyway, trikes work better for us than bikes.

Mind you though, the hills in Texas are just that, hills. Mountains I know from nothing.
