Just don't want to be constantly pushing buttons and shifting gears. 5 power levels is a good compromise. First year with the ebike; not looking to upgrade to torque sensing unit at this time.

Does the programming cable program the display (mine's a 500C) or the controller? Does it come with a program? Can you download the program on an android tablet and use it to modify the power levels and get the "slow start" mentioned above?

Thanks for any insight.
