I took it for a test ride today and it kept cutting out, I'm going to have to admit defeat on taking it as far from home as the SHB

difficult to me, at least if we were talking about fit and healthy people. If you've
not moved too far off the super-fit and healthy end of the spectrum, it should
be a challenge you can relish.

I've not yet tried riding up the ramp...

I'd be more worried about the cutting out issue...
Make sure you've recently tried charging the battery. If it's drained, it'll cut out with the low voltage protection.

The throttle is on the right hand and it's my right collarbone that's broken, hence the complexity

Stand on the right of the bike (I know it's all wrong isn't it:-)
Control the throttle and steer with your right hand
Hold the bike on the seat with your left hand doing all the work
In any case, I expect you'll find it easy enough - if you can't push the bike, I'm sure that one of your fellow SHB cyclists will help you.
