One solution would be to setup your r...@remote_host account so you can
login to that without password as well, and then just run
sudo rsync files r...@remote_host:/path

You'll most likely need to enter password for the local sudo, if you
havent configured it to dont ask for password.

Also, consider the security implications in automatically allowing your
user to login as root on the remote_host, you remote_host might be
compromised if your local machine is.

Best regards,
