MTB ebike under 1500

The display I got is the same 3, 5, 7, 9, each level adjustable but I think it only goes 5% either way from the preset percentages. Hopefully the controller is capable of doing what the display can do, that I won't know until tomorrow. I looked at the Ride1Up bikes along with many others. No multiple front sprockets on those and most other better quality bikes took those out of the running for me.
I have a Trek hybrid with multiple chainrings 48/36/26 and an 11-32T 9 speed cassette. It's been years and thousands of miles since I last dropped from the 48T during a ride, so for e-bike gearing, I was mostly concerned with having one that was high enough geared in the highest gear since a lot of e-bikes have a small chainring and are lower geared in the top gear, especially mountain bikes, which makes sense for their most intended purpose. With my 700's 45T chainring, I only use the top gear going down hills and have never dropped below second gear going up a steep hill, so it's worked out well and hasn't been range limiting to either extreme for me.

For mountain bikes, Ride1Up's Prodigy will have a higher top gear than your traditional single chainring mountain bike. It will have a 44T chainring, 11-34 cassette, and use a Brose motor. Sorry, no throttle.
