I don't have a problem with increasing cadence and going slow up hills.

I notice that all of the pictures you've shown have the handlebars up front. Have you tried the configurations where the grips are beneath seat level. I had read somewhere that reaching up to the grips gets to feel like riding a chopper after a while. Or is it not a big deal either way?
