Brompton Electric 2 speed vs 6 speed hill climb comparison

We are often asked - should I get a 2 speed or a 6 speed Brompton Electric bike

We were also asked if a 2 speed would be suitable for hilly areas

So we got two bikes - and rode them up a relatively steep hill (for the South of England) 8 times - 4 times each with no power (to simulate a flat battery) and on levels 1, 2 and 3

The video has the following:
