For those so inclined Tod on Startup is an absolute must have. That said ; there is a definite secondary market for some enterprising ebike electrical engineer to offer software upgrades ( there is a dataport on the pace 500 ).
I am currently seeking such a technician in the Philadelphia metropolitan area to alter my Pace 500 L E.

For the nominal cost of a better/smaller more ergonomic display & a controller I'd do it in a heart-beat & have Throttle on Demand.
I'd invite the more knowledgeable Electrical Engineers/Programmers to chime in.
