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.

On the Bafangs it reconfigures the controller. The display gets disconnected to hook up the programming device. The configuration tool are free, mine runs on a laptop. People post configuration files, I downloaded one called Karl's Special Sauce.

here is a blurb about programming with useful links

Reprogramming the controller: The Bafang mid drive controllers are fully programmable with an easy configuration software for optimizing power output. See this link for the basics of programming. Alternately you can use this custom written programming software ### backup link ### See here for a good discussion on BBSxx program settings customization ### Further info: A BBSxx programming overview ### Electricbike-blog: # 1, #2, #3.
