Ride one and you tell me.
Like I said, if you have more power you don't have to use it. But if you don't have the power, you will never know.
Think cargo bike loaded down with kids and groceries. Even Lance in his cheating prime would have an issue riding such a bike up any extended grade unassisted. Now think soccer mom trying to get kids somewhere without driving.
Think fat bike in going up hill in rough terrain covered in a foot of snow. 1/3 of a horsepower won't get you there.
