You have an interesting definition of "steep".

Lots of riders without motors can do it significantly faster. Not that I
can. (I'm extrapolating based on race data. I don't know if I've ever
seen the record for Haleakala.)

Last year's Cycle to the Sun winner took 2:51:50 to accomplish the
same feat. No motor needed:

Is the fact that a motorized bike is almost as fast and almost as
durable as a human remarkable?
