Are you comparing results obtained comparing ECO and Sport mode settings?
No. I am using the version of DCP 18 that allows you to program 9 levels of assist. From there On the display you can select whether you want to run it in 5 levels or 9. The way it should work regardless of what levels you select to operate the bike in (5 or 9) the settings in power assist 1 should be the same. And for some strange reason it's not working that way. 1 has significantly more power when running in 5 than 9. Hopefully this makes sense

Thanks so much! I appreciate you responding to my question.We really can't say much of anything since we have no idea how that motor is programmed. Really, the 1-5 settings should be more powerful since they take a 20% bite of the 100% pie vs just over 11%. However PAS programming in the BBSxx family is neither intuitive or linear. Especially given the fact that sellers could go in and add their own flavors into the mix.

EDIT: I may be wrong about this but I think a 5-setting system uses levels 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 in the Assist table. So again... broader brush strokes could equal a higher threshold in each level?
EDITEDIT: @TampaJR you say you have the DPC18 that allows you to program 9 levels of assist. Thats not correct. What it does is let you access the 9 levels of assist that are present in the Assist table, vs. just using 5 of them (well... 6 as both 5 and 9 use Level 0 as well). Your display is just a window into a much larger world. See the article I posted above for the actual settings screens that your DPC18 is tapping into.
No.
Yes I'm pretty familiar with the programming of the controller. I used the speed app on my Android phone today. And I do understand that the display he's just the window into those settings in the controller.

I'm not at all familiar with "old ERAD bikes by Chris", so I'll add to the should have 3 5 and 9 options thought with IF it's actually a BAFANG display....
Erad just relabeled their BBSxx series. And threw in a bunch of smoke and mirrors. BTW Chris Head wasn’t the owner it was LeGrand. They sold some decent conversions. But there were failures. I think it was Giant full suspension bikes that couldn’t hold up to the torque of the BBSHD.
Adjustable settings if BBSxx.
APT makes displays for others, not just Bafang and optional PAS settings aren’t limited to Bafang motors.
Thanks, that never would have occurred to me....
