kymco Agility 50 upgrade

Hi,  Thanks in advance for your help.
I have a 2008 Kymco Agility 50.  It runs great!  No problems.  It is factory original except I have derestricted it so it now goes 40 to 45mph.  Anyway, it struggles on the up hills.  I would like more power, not more speed.  I am not really interested in a big bore kit.  I would like to replace the motor with a 125cc or 150cc.  Will this provide the extra power I need to get up the hills?  If so, is there a direct plug-and-play motor that I can swap out? Or, are there other ways to get more power (not speed) for going up hills?
Thanks
Paul

It's probably not what you want to hear....but if you want more power the easiest and cheapest way is to buy a bigger bike.

A pain I know, but it's the way to go.  I weigh about 230 lbs without kit and eventually had to trade my 125cc scooter in for a 300 as it really couldn't haul me uphill comfortably!
