I really don't know, but it seems to be % power based.
I don't think your MIL will be disappointed with the 350w. kit.
On Monday I fulfilled a long-help ambition to cycle to the top of a local beauty spot (Barr Beacon, West Midlands) - on a fine day you can see for miles around! It's 227 metres above sea level. I live 8 miles away at about 110 metres. My route is mainly local roads and through Sutton Park, and there are plenty of undulations along the way. I did it mostly on PAS 2, with the lowest gear combo used being 38t front - 18t rear. I felt like I was doing some work, but not breaking sweat. The last few yards are up a very steep entrance so I whacked into PAS 5 and accelerated up it with me changing up gears to keep pace!
As an aside, the throttle developed a fault on the way back ( I got lazy and was using it to start off from rest). The spring inside wouldn't return to zero without pulling it shut with a finger.
The good news is I have exchanged emails with Yose and a new throttle is on its way to me FOC - no quibbles.
