What settings are you using on your Bolton controller?

I went on my first real ride today since I upgraded my controller to an Area 13 controller on my Rad 6+. The delay for pedal assist seemed to be a problem as I started off from a stop. It?s ok if I use the hand throttle from a stop and let the pedal assist take over. I?m thinking I want to reduce or eliminate the delay. I?m wondering how everyone has set all the different settings on their Bolton controllers and why they chose what they did.

I always use the throttle to get going from a stop anyway, and that seems to be the advice that most instructional videos give. I like having a few seconds to get my feet off the ground and settled onto the pedals.

On my unmodified RadExpand 5 the PAS delay is about 1/3 of a pedal turn, and even then it ramps up. I think it's meant as a safety feature so that it doesn't take off if you merely look real hard at the pedals.

Here are my settings, along with some older ones (latest stable settings are on the left; haven't felt the need to tweak further is almost 2 years).  Note that these are for a 2021 MiniST2 with 20" rims - YMMV depending on bike model:

I think I?m getting closer to 360 degrees of rotation or more. I didn?t pay close attention to how much it was, but it?s more than I want.

Thanks, I?ll check it out.
