Clarification, please...

I understand ambling leisurely without PAS, but wonder exactly how PAS 1 works.
Are you saying that in while in PAS 1, you can pedal a rotation so the motor kicks in, then immediately stop pedaling to keep you speed down? Does the motor immediately shut down when you stop pedaling? We have not ridden one yet, so I'm trying to visualize how this sensor and controller works for slower paces. Thanks, by the way, for your explanations!

Motor fades out in one or two seconds after you've stopped pedaling. Listen to the sound in Court's video from time-stamp 17.10: https://youtu.be/IsxV_uyJY7w?t=1035. When it stops whirring, it stops assisting.
When you use PAS1 and start to peddle, you can not go below 12mph. The only way that I’m aware of going below 12 is to use the throttle. It is variable speed and you could get it steady at 8 MPH, but in order to activate It , you have to pedal about one quarter, and if you remove your thumb from the throttle, you have to reactivate it by peddling one quarter. This is the only issue I have with Aventon. Aventon states that it is a safety issue.
You can go slow on PAS 1 if you have to.
One thing you can do is to skip every 2nd or every 3rd pedals revolution - the motor will run momentarily, stop, run again and so on, average speed will be low but uneven.
Another option is to go into display settings and reduce max speed to 30 kmh (19 mph), then max speed on PAS 1 will be ~10 mph. This setting doesn't affect the throttle.

Shouldn't have worried about this before riding it.
My wife got used to things very quickly, and absolutely loves it.
PAS 0, using the throttle on uphills, is very easy.
PAS 1, with occasional pedaling, keeps a slower speed if she wants it, and is also very easy.
PAS 2-5, if she wants to cruise way ahead of me, while turning around and grinning frequently!
I've reminded both her and her friend to not ignore the mechanical gears, choosing the appropriate cog (or number!) depending on the terrain encountered and speed desired.
I put two of the Pace 500's together recently, and was overall very impressed.
I took some notes...and will post a new thread with some tips and observations soon.
