The GT08 comes across as a very fast, high torque scooter that climbs hills well and can handle light gravel or rough access roads better than expected. It has configurable P settings, a smooth suspension, and enough speed for upper 30s to around 40 mph in real use, with some calling it strong value for the money. The tradeoffs are serious weight, around 90 pounds, a jerky throttle, and small wheels that make off road riding risky. The seat ships separately and the setup may need a steering dampener and protective gear, so it suits riders who can manage its size and speed.
Riders tackling steep hills and gravel paths, because the motor keeps climbing without slowing and the suspension stays smooth on rough ground.
Hikers and hunters using dirt or rocky access roads, because it is described as handling mountain tracks and off-road stretches better than a truck crawl.
It has strong uphill torque and can stay smooth on gravel and hills, with one rider saying it does not slow down even in eco mode. For rougher dirt or rocky roads, the small scooter wheels are a weak point and can be thrown off by rocks or washouts.
A steering dampener is recommended if you remove the seat, and one owner says it makes the scooter more stable at speed. Another long-term rider says it is not necessary, so the need depends on setup and how aggressively you ride.
Real-world top speed reported is usually in the upper 30s to about 40 mph, with one rider seeing about 40 mph at 245 lbs and another saying the display can read inaccurately unless fixed. The scooter is still described as very fast, with one owner calling it a 43 mph machine.
Yes, it has P-settings rather than an official app. The settings include tire diameter, low-voltage cutoff, speedometer calibration, miles/kilometers, zero-start or kick-start, cruise control, soft or hard start, power/speed limit, and electronic brake assist.
I'd never want to do 46 mph, but how would this thing do getting me up and down mountain dirt/rocky roads? What about 4x4 roads? Mostly for hiking and hunting access, where I'd like something easier to travel rather than bumping along slowly in my truck...

While no official app, you can configure it using P-settings: P10 tire diameter, P01 low-voltage cutoff, P02 speedometer calibration, P04 miles/kilometers, P05 zero-start/kick-start, P06 cruise, P07 soft/hard start, P08 power/speed limit, and P09 electronic brake assist.
I've also read on Reddit that some guy modded it and removed about 20lbs of scrap metal (those fugly side panels and whatnot).
I have this one, its a rocket, but you need to learn how to control it because you will die. Get a steering stabilizer. I had to dig to find a stabilizer and then a kit that fits to install it. Makes u turns harder but regular riding becomes more stable... for the money its a great bang for your buck

If the scooter is really 5600W (peak) as it claims to be, you'll have no problem going up those hills.
