Official Arwibon GT08 Scooter Support — Complete P Settings Guide

For riders who want full control over their Arwibon GT08 electric scooter, understanding the P settings (parameter settings) is essential. These settings allow you to fine-tune your scooter’s performance, safety features, speed behavior, and display accuracy. Below is the complete and organized guide to the GT08 P settings, listed in the exact order they appear on the display menu.

To access the P-menu:
Hold both buttons on the throttle display at the same time while the scooter is powered on.

P01 – Low Voltage Cutoff

• Default: 48
  This setting prevents the battery from over-discharging.
  Although the GT08 controller stickers indicate a built-in cutoff around 54V, the P01 value is mostly redundant and usually does not need adjustment.

P02 – Magnetic Pole Logarithm

• Default from factory: 18

• Manual states: 14

• Most accurate (user-verified): 20
  This setting affects speedometer accuracy, not motor performance. Many riders found that 20 gives the most accurate speed reading.

P03 – Speed Measurement Signal Mode

• Default: 3

• Changeable: No
  This value is fixed and cannot be changed on the GT08.

P04 – MPH / KMH Display Setting

• 0 = kilometers

• 1 = miles
  This setting controls the small throttle display only.
  Important:
  The large center display always reads in kilometers, even when it shows “mph.” This cannot be changed.

P05 – Zero Start or Kick-Start Mode

• 0 = zero-start (instant throttle from standstill)

• 1 = kick-to-start (requires scooter movement before throttle activates)

Kick-start mode can help prevent accidental acceleration when powering on the scooter indoors or in tight spaces.

P06 – Cruise Control

• 0 = off

• 1 = on
  With cruise control activated, holding a steady speed for 6 seconds automatically locks the speed.
  Brake to deactivate.

P07 – Soft Start / Hard Start

• 0 = soft start

• 1 = hard start (Nsoft)
  Soft start provides smoother throttle engagement.
  Hard start gives instant power, but can feel jerky, especially for new riders.

P08 – Speed Limiter / Power Output

• Default: 100%
  Adjusting this value reduces the maximum power output across all gears.

Default gear speeds:

• Gear 1: 25%

• Gear 2: 75%

• Gear 3: 100%

Lowering P08 below these values reduces all gear limits proportionally.
Most riders leave this unchanged and simply choose a lower gear or use the Eco mode button when needed.

P09 – Electronic Brake Assist

• 0 = Off

• 1 = Medium

• 2 = Maximum

Electronic braking activates over ~20 mph and helps reduce brake pad wear.
Many owners recommend at least level 1 for better braking support.

P10 – Tire Diameter

• Default: 11

• Recommended: 11
  Setting the correct tire diameter ensures accurate speed readings. GT08 users have verified that 11 matches GPS-measured speed correctly.

Summary: Recommended P Settings for Most Riders

• P10: 11

• P01: 48

• P02: 20

• P03: 3

• P04: 1 (if you prefer mph on the small display)

• P05: 0 or 1 depending on riding style

• P06: 1 for cruise control

• P07: 0 for smoother throttle

• P08: 100%

• P09: 1 or 2 for stronger braking

These settings provide the best balance of accuracy, safety, and performance for the Arwibon GT08.
