I own a 2020 Rad City 4 and find that it is adequate on fairly steep hills. For steeper inclines I use PAS 4 and 4th gear. I assume you plan to pedal and will be going into the hill with momentum. Not sure how strong it would be from a dead stop using throttle only.

I agree with kev12345. I assembled mine without a torque wrench, had a pedal wrench.

I typically ride in PAS 2 in order to get some exercise. I usually start out in 2nd gear and work rapidly to 7th provided I'm on level terrain. For climbing hills, in addition to dropping down to 4th or 5th gear, I like to bump the PAS to 3 or 4 depending on the amount of the grade. The PAS gets increasingly sensitive in level 3-5. You will get a feel for it pretty quick. And then there is always the throttle option, sit back and enjoy....

Makes sense for a cargo bike to have a geared hub motor.

The owners manual recommends 50-60 psi. I can't read it on the sidewall either. Went to Kenda web site and the K-Rad 26 X 2.3 tire shows 80 PSI.

Regarding Step thru (girl) vs standard (man) frame, I recently purchased both, one for my Girl Friend and one for me. Being in our 60's, I find the step thru the more desirable option for ease of use.

Tom here from the Toledo Ohio area. Like Gene, just purchased a Rad City step thru (White) for the Girl Friend and a Rad City 4 for me. Been riding the step thru for a couple of weeks and really enjoy it! My bike should be here Tuesday. It will be fun to ride together. We're in our early 60's and wanted to be able to enjoy some of the awesome bike trails in the area while getting some exercise. So far so good.
