I'm old I need all the help I can get lol
How does a 50 cc 2 stroke handle hills?

Depends on the hill. Well and the weight of you with the bike and what sprocket you have on the back wheel in conjunction with the wheel/tire diameter.
A good 50cc 2 stroke that has been optimized can scoot along pretty good and slight hills they can tackle without slowing down too much. Start getting steeper and the motor may need some pedal assistance.
Honestly if your goal is to have a properly legal 49/50cc motorized bike I would heavily consider the 4 stroke route. They both make about the same power and the 4 strokes are just a lot less to mess with and they get much better economy. This is coming from somebody that loves a good 2 stroke too. I say this because most of these 2 stroke kits out of the box require some tweaking and tuning to really get the most out of them.

Now if it's speed and hill-climbing ability you're after you need multiple engine-driven gears. Which we can also show you how to set up.

My 250 watt ebike was great on hills I imagine the 50 cc be the same

"Great" depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for some pedal-assist... yeah... great... if you're looking to scoot along without any assistance... things get a little dicier...
A typical 50cc 2 stroke is going to put out at least 1.5hp, which is more than 1000 watts if converted. What it really comes down to is the gearing.

Cool I truly can't sleep lol I have all my tools ready. With the exception of my 1/4 deep sockets . Sadly my fav torque wrench is 1/2 inch which I guess sucks for the small bolts on my bike
Yeah, even a 3/8" torque wrench is a touch overkill for most fasteners on a bike.
