Percent grade and degrees
Road signs and maps give grade in percent. A 10% grade rises 10 feet over 100 feet of distance. A rating in degrees is a smaller number than the same slope in percent. A 15 degree slope is about a 27% grade. A 30 degree slope is about a 58% grade, steeper than almost any paved street.
Conditions not listed
No manufacturer's page lists the rider weight or the hill length behind its hill climb rating. INMOTION's S1F page lists both 30% and 30 degrees, so that rating is shown as Not confirmed.
