My own personal settings. After I do a full reset, menu code 5000, I follow this list to set my PL350 back to my personal preferences. This is the way I like mine to be. I don't want the system to hold back, I like it to give full power at all speeds. My reasoning is simple: If you don't like the thumb throttle, don't use it; if you think assist 4 is too much, then lower it. You decide.

I use a PL350 ( 350W motor with 36V Li-Ion battery) on a mountain bike with 26" wheels. My firmware is Rev:2.3

Hope this helps, if you find any paticular settings are better with different values on your own system, please share with the rest of us.

Thanks

Edit: Revised values for setting 0007 and 0008. I've found that 1.0 for menu 0007 is too low and the controller often doesn't detect the cyclist pedaling. Setting to 3.0 will allow the controller to detect the cyclist earlier and be more sensitive to changes in cyclist torque output.

Diagnostic mode (menu 3772) allowed me to find that the "B" option on menu 0008 is best to be set to 1.0 rather than 25.0. I think this is the speed where the extra assistance kicks in. If this is the case, it's probably better to have it kick in at a lower speed since you're not likely to be climbing a steep hill at 25 km/h. I also noticed the assist power (upper left digits in diagnostic mode) were higher with the 1.0 value and seemed to climb faster from a complete stop.
