Yes, you have to have a licence to be legal on the road.

Get a mobility scooter and put some go faster stripes down the side and the job's a good 'un

UK ebike definitions and the law. ... Your steed is an “electrically assisted pedal cycle” (or EAPC, or ebike, or Pedelec) if: the bike has pedals that propel it; the electric motor won't assist you when you're travelling more than 25 km/h (15.5mph); and the power doesn't exceed 250 watts.

Whats stopping you getting an electric bike _eeside? They are a little expensive but will help with the hills.

Or get your provisional licence and get a scooter or moped?

You can buy an electric kit to retro fit onto a push bike, NO license required.. however in the UK you are limited to 250W power and a max speed of 15.5 mph

You can also buy kits which exceed those specs but you *can't use them on the road (*nudge nudge wink wink)
