The Ultimate Dashboard Decoder: Mastering KuKirin G2 Pro Settings
The KuKirin G2 Pro isn’t just another electric scooter – it comes with a super-large HD LED display that puts a world of information and customization at your fingertips. But to truly unlock its potential, you need to understand what those icons mean and how to navigate the hidden menu.
Whether you want to switch from kilometers to miles, activate cruise control, or change the start-up method, this guide walks you through every setting step by step.
1. Meet Your G2 Pro Display: What All Those Icons Mean
Before you tweak anything, let’s decode what you’re looking at. According to the G2 Pro specification sheet, the display shows:
| Icon / Indicator | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Real-time speed | Current velocity (km/h or mph) |
| Battery voltage | Remaining power level |
| Mileage (ODO/Trip) | Total distance or trip distance |
| Gear indicator | Current speed mode (1, 2, or 3) |
| Light indicator | Headlight is ON |
| Brake indicator | Brake lever is engaged (motor cut-off active) |
| Turn signal indicator | Left or right indicator flashing |
| Cruise indicator | Cruise control is active |
| Fault code | Error code (E0, E1, etc.) for troubleshooting |
| Start mode indicator | Shows zero-start or non-zero-start mode |
Pro tip: Familiarize yourself with these icons before your first ride – it saves confusion later.
2. How to Access the Hidden Settings Menu (P-Settings)
Here’s where the G2 Pro gets powerful. You can customize 10+ parameters by entering the engineering menu.
How to enter:
-
Make sure the scooter is powered on.
-
Press the power button three times in a row.
-
The display will now show P1, then P2, and so on.
Use the power button to cycle through settings, and the mode button (or throttle) to adjust values.
3. Complete P-Settings Reference Table
Here is every setting you can adjust, based on the official G2 Pro specifications:
| Code | Function | What You Can Change |
|---|---|---|
| P1 | Kilometer / Mile selection | Switch between km/h and mph – essential for different regions. |
| P2 | Voltage level setting | Set to 48V (do not change unless battery is modified). |
| P3 | Wheel diameter setting | Adjust for accurate speed reading (9-inch default). |
| P4 | Magnetic pole pair setting | Motor calibration – leave as default unless replacing motor. |
| P5 | Cruise control selection | Toggle Cruise ON / OFF. |
| P6 | Start mode selection | Switch between Zero Start and Non-Zero Start (kick-to-go). |
| P8 | Auto sleep time | Set how many minutes before display sleeps. |
| PA | Start force setting | Adjust throttle sensitivity at launch. |
| PB | Brake force setting | Adjust regenerative or electronic brake strength. |
| PC | Total mileage reset | Clear odometer (use carefully – cannot be undone). |
4. Speed Limit Mode (Hidden Feature)
The G2 Pro is capable of reaching up to 45 km/h under 65kg load (and even higher idling). But in many regions, legal limits apply.
To activate Speed Limit Mode:
-
Hold the brake lever.
-
While holding the brake, double-click the power button.
-
The scooter will enter a restricted speed mode – ideal for complying with local regulations (e.g., 25 km/h or 15.5 mph).
Repeat the same action to unlock full speed.
Compliance reminder: Always check your local e-scooter laws before riding on public roads. Use speed limit mode to stay legal.
5. Start Mode: Zero vs. Non-Zero (P6 Setting)
This is one of the most important safety settings. Navigate to P6 in the menu:
| Setting | Name | How It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Zero Start (Recommended) | Kick-to-go | Motor only engages after you push off to a few km/h. Prevents accidental throttle launches. |
| Zero Start | Instant throttle | Throttle works immediately. Only for experienced riders on private land. |
Our advice: Beginners should always use Non-Zero Start. It prevents the scooter from jumping forward if you accidentally touch the throttle at a standstill.
6. Cruise Control (P5 Setting)
Long, straight roads can tire your thumb. Cruise control solves that.
To enable cruise control in settings:
-
Set P5 to ON (cruise enabled).
To activate during a ride:
-
Hold a steady speed for about 5–8 seconds.
-
The cruise indicator icon will appear on the display.
-
Release the throttle – speed stays constant.
To disengage: Tap the brake, press the throttle, or change the gear.
Safety tip: Only use cruise control on open, empty roads – never in traffic or on uneven surfaces.
7. Unit Switching: km/h to mph (P1 Setting)
If you’re in the UK, US, or other mph-using regions, you can switch the display:
-
Enter the P-menu (press power button 3 times).
-
Navigate to P1.
-
Change the value to switch between km/h and mph.
-
Exit the menu – the display will now show speed in your preferred unit.
This is especially useful for understanding your speed limits locally.
8. Auto Sleep & Display Brightness (P8 Setting)
To save battery when parked, the G2 Pro can automatically turn off the display after a set time.
-
Navigate to P8.
-
Set the number of minutes of inactivity before sleep mode activates.
-
Default is usually 3–5 minutes.
The display wakes up with a single press of the power button.
9. Understanding Fault Codes
If something goes wrong, the G2 Pro displays an error code instead of speed. Here’s what they mean:
| Code | Meaning | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| E0 | Wheel blocked | Check for debris, restart. |
| E1 | Over-voltage | Replace battery – contact support. |
| E2 | Under-voltage | Battery low – charge immediately. |
| E3 | Controller failure | Replace controller. |
| E4 | Throttle fault | Unplug throttle, restart. |
| E5 | Brake fault | Unplug brake terminals, restart. |
| E6 | Serial communication fault | Change light board / controller. |
| E7 | Hall sensor fault | Check motor wires / replace motor. |
If you see E1, E3, E6, or E7, contact KuKirin support or an authorised service centre.

Pre-Ride Checklist (Using Your Display)
Before every ride, glance at your G2 Pro display and ask:
-
Unit: Is it set to km/h or mph – do I understand the reading?
-
Mode: Am I in the right gear (1, 2, or 3) for my environment?
-
Start mode: Is it on Non-Zero Start for safety?
-
Lights: Headlight icon ON if visibility is poor?
-
Battery: Enough charge for my trip?
-
Brake indicator: Does it flash when I squeeze the lever?
