how do the easy boots do going up and down hills

They stay on through hills, creeks, sand, rocks, over knee high jumps. If you have the correct size for your horse, I have never had one come off. The Easy boot website has a size chart. If between sizes, get the larger one. They still don't come off while riding. I have walked, trotted and cantered with no problem.

There is no jumping involved so they are easy on your joints. There are some push ups, but not a lot. They always show a modified version for everything they do, so not to worry.

It is a seven speed, so going up hill isn't that bad. I don't have any steep hills, where I ride, so don't know what its like if you need to stand up to peddle. Going down hill is free wheeling, so you need to brake to slow down.

This will completely depend on the weight of the rider and degree of the hill. For me (135 lbs), taking a fully charged bike up a very steep incline at full throttle while I assist pedal is just possible. Climbing a "normal" city uphill street is easy. It definitely slows down on the biggest hills, using the proper gearing while you help pedal really helps. As does a running start ;-)

They are pretty stiff. I have been climbing steep hills with them. Skidding would be a little more stressful but I think they would be stiff enough.

If you hold the pedal to the floor and have hills = 15-30minutes. Typical use 2 days.

Use gear #1 to pedal uphill. Depending on your speed you may need to use a higher gear. Note that the electric boost is independent of the gear used.

Nope...very difficult to do. Unless you are going down a steep hill, driveway, etc.

Yes, and they are great for going down hill. I am not really strong but managed my 180# husband with hand controls. Love them.

I can power up a hill of about 5% grade easier than most people on mountain bikes, I pass them. unless you are hitting huge hills, which is not what this bike is intended for, it is great all around town, up and down.

I don't know but I love my boots, but you need to wear thick socks with them. I tilted it over on my bike these boots saved my foot from being crushed. and they save the body of the bike being scratched up. The bike ended up with a black scuff mark that wiped away.

I never used an Easyboot for a horse with shoes on. I would call the company and ask them. My purpose was to use them in place of shoes entirely or to compensate for one lost shoe on the trail.

Place 1st board keel down. 2nd board keel up. Wrap abungee around them. you'll have to hold onto the bottom board to push or pull. Probably would be tougn on rough or steep terrain.

Well, the pedals don't move unless you make them. The only time I really need to pedal is sometimes on a steep uphill climb or when the battery pack runs low.

It will go up small hills if they aren't too steep, also depends on the weight of the child.

They are easy on and off. Though I leave them on just because they are out of the way folded and you have the option of using them on a ride.
