How steep and long can the hills be before the S8 cannot make it?

Is this a real question?

Sounds, as if you have not yet discovered the answer.

A125 can haul itself and approximately 200 kgs of passenger weight up 18 % hill sustaining speed of 55-60 km/h.

I hope the answer is adequate. :)

I haven't found one yet it couldn't climb and I've tried some pretty steep hills.

Mount Kilimanjaro = Yes

Mount Everest = Maybe? If you jet correctly.

Thanks, Axy and KL, I think you've nailed it.

I live in a hilly city, very near the confluence of two major rivers, so "Zippy" should have no trouble.
