Any here have experience with motor assist wheels? [View all]

I have access to a trik that I was thinking of rigging to gather up trash on my road-one bin for aluminum cans and the other for trash. The reason for the motor assist would be to get this single speed monster up the hills when loaded. I know there are some that power the front wheel. That seems to be the easy way to go.

Any suggestions would be well received.
