I don't believe there is any hub motor capable of handling a 26% (or steeper!) slope. At least not efficiently. To cope with that kind of climb, the motor will need to be geared waaaaay down. I don't even think my Optibike would be up to that climb without switching to a smaller gear. Stokemonkey claims to be able to carry insane loads up that kind of slope, I haven't heard of anything else that would tackle it easily.
