For bump starting, what gear is appropriate for city speeds? The gear you need or something higher?

What I have found is that I can bump start in 5th gear as low as 50km/h [30mph]. what I have noticed is that the higher the gear I bump start in the smoother it is. the only problem I have notice when bump starting in 5th gear at very low speeds is that even the smallest amount of thoatle gets the scanguage to 90%+ load rightaway. what I do now depending on conditions is bumpstart in 5th and then down shift to 4th then pulse to 80km/hr [50mph] and glide... what I also do is pulse and glide eoc to the road conditions, in order to engage gravity drive.
