Any experience riding e-bikes?

So in Costa Rica last year, in super hot climate, and after a 90 min gym session, I tried to ride an e-bike up a giant hill and failed. I'm not sure if it was because the bike was too heavy, or I was so tired. Looking for anyone with experience riding one. I'm going to a beach town this weekend in Spain and they have a bike tour and I'm looking to do an e-bike tour one of the days, but don't want to fail again.
 
@angelod Sounds like maybe the battery was dead or it was malfunctioning…an e-bike should be super easy to go uphill on, but when the power is off the bike is incredibly heavy.
 
@angelod I have an e-bike and it is easy to go uphill. Mine’s pedal assist, so I just turn it on and pedal. Are you sure the bike was turned on? It could have had a dead battery.
