I can't believe it took this many years for half decent suspension to turn up on a pure commuting scooter (when we need it more than most people lol)
Been waiting for a good review of the 8 - thanks for the great info as always. Was originally going to buy an 8, but there wasn't much info out there on it at the time. CAN'T WAIT FOR MY 9+!!!!!
Glad I could help
How's it holding up?
I've had the vsett-8 for three weeks and have ridden 400 miles. The brakes have taken awhile to get used to and I have noticed that it is helpful transfer as much weight as you can when stopping abrubtly to whatever foot you put in front and less to the handlebars. And If you are torn between the 8 or the 8+ I would consider a third option of 2 vsett-8s giving you the option to allow someone else to ride with you or just using it to alternate between possibly increasing your range even more than the 8+ while reducing the wear and tear
Just ordered one today hows it holding up?
@@MrFatballsackz 2600 miles and good.
That solid wheel on the back becomes very dangerous and strange at 3,000 before 3,000 miles .and when it get really wet the motor will spin up inside the wheel like a clutch,and it wears down so flat that the contact with the road is limited to dead flat while you go straight ahead and whenever turning either way you feel like the caterpillar crawling along the surface of the blade. I love it though, but I would love to have air tires on the front and the back .they aren't easy to change and that solid wheel probably be driven for 1000's of sketchy miles miles until it ceased to exist,
@@doobertb7202 do you recommend for a Uber person ?. Means I will use it almost everyday. For safety and comfort , does it worth it ?
@@ifi9457 if the delivery driver didn't weigh a lot it would be a plus. It would not be ideal , but it would work. I would love to have more power,but I would rather have 2 vsett8 than one vsett 9
Wow I cant believe it!! Finally a true competitor for the Etwow GT!! I wonder how it feels NOT having thumb throttles from the etwow - would really love you guys to have a review comparing the differences w/ the EtWOW since the etwow is the top rated commuter fold up
Yeah if you feel like changing out the front air tire into solid ones because these people obviously do not care about customer feedback.
Thanks Boys👍... purchased Vsett8 (19,2Ah) couple of days ago...it's great scooter and it's really fun to drive it...keep on with brilliant work guys 👍... greetings from Zagreb, Croatia 🙂

Hi got my VSETT8 today managed 25mph love this scooter
How did you do that? My is limited to 16 miles.. (Europe).
Wish someone would do a comprehensive on the 8+. Dual motor version of this scooter. Not just another 500 watt, dual 600w.
They should design the charging port as the pouring outlet of cola bottle, thus any cola bottle caps could be used for weatherproof.
I like elegant design and color and not childish color scheme of more expensive models.
Becareful with the handle bar in this. The junction between the top pole and bottom bar to height adjust can become loose and shake. The screws wear off.
Wait really? I just bought one
Hello?
Finally purchased my Vsett 8 after being a xiaomi m365 rider for 1 year.. This is really nice escooter upgrade. It has all the nice features in a foldable waterproof escooter.
is it waterproof tho?
@@SUPANATRUL Vsett has ip 54 rating. I was about to purchase a Kaabo mantis but ditched it bcos its not waterproof. So i decided to buy Vsett 8 instead.
@@jinjinpyo28 yeah but if its raining like heavy rain can i go out and go to school?
@@SUPANATRUL no chance. Most escooters arent really built to travel during heavy rains. These are electric vehicles. Motor and battery are at risk to be damaged as well.
Hey! How long does the battery last?
Btw the nfc cards are not protected in any way. You just push the button on the inside of the reader, and you can enroll any card
Hey Jimmy and Andrew! I was operating my train across the Williamsburg Bridge and saw a guy crossing on a EUC he kept pace with my train the whole way across the bridge. Made me think of you guys.
Guys I might have missed it but are the tires tubed or solid? Great vid as always.
Hey Antt Mann! I didn't know you were a train operator. I would love to come ride scooters and take a train ride with you one day.
The VSETT 8 has an 8.5″ by 3″ solid rear tire and an 8″ by 2.5″ pneumatic tube in tire in the front. The VSETT 8+ has two 8.5″ by 3″ solid tires. REV Rides has mentioned to us that they will not be carrying the VSETT 8+.
@@Andrew-vt4jt Thanks Drew. Yeah if you guys ever come to NYC I'd be star struck lol to go for a scooter ride with you guys. However I'd be afraid for you guys to take a ride on my train under the current environment.
I like you guys; need you making more great content.
@@anttmann6123 I would love to meet up with you one time. I'd be star struck to meet our number one fan! Soon enough this pandemic will be over.

Thank you sir

Mam Vsett 8 od maja i za sobą z 1000km i na jego temat moge trochę powiedzieć. Zacznę od Wad, hamulec bębnowy to nie jest najlepsze rozwiązanie,lepiej spojrzeć na hulajnogi z tarczówkami, drugą wadą brak wbudowanej lampki ale to jest do kupienia. Z Zalet to to co wymieniłeś zawieszenie, zasięg, amortyzacja ale dodałbym jeszcze pełna opona z tyłu, odpada problem z pękającymi dętkami, dobry serwis i kierunkowskazy jeśli dajesz np. dzieciakowi. Teraz przesiadłem się na Vsett 10+ i to jest sprzęt :)
I can't wait for mine to come in! That being said I'm already thinking about saving and buying the 9+ as well lol
The 9+ picks up speed faster and has the amazing rock solid stem.
I just bought the 8+
@@DARK_AMBIGUOUS hey, I want to buy it also. Need some info from you : top speed, charging time, wheels traction, sleepery or something?, km autonomie? Thank you
Bought vsett 8 21a/h and now I'm around 20% battery and did only 34 km distance, I have 75kg and was driving only on flat ground.
I'm returning it next week
Go go go Jimmy and Andrew! Greetings guys!
Definitely think vsett will be a top manufacturer for e scooters.
that's the scooter i was looking for! Thanks for the review
good video but i like the look of that chopper on the bench
The Fiido? It's pretty sweet. We will have a review on that soon too.
Don't talk about my mom that way
oh yeah another point is some people actually want air tyres on this one especially the 8+ with all the performance
people are suggesting drill a hole in the motor casing to do that but that's way too sketch for me (I know I can just get the 9+ but this folds so much smaller)
actually that's a better idea to have the 8+ get 10 inch pneumatic tyres or like dual pneumatic to be that bit more cause anyone getting a 1200 watt scooter will ride it hard anyway
This review made me switch from Xiaomi 4 Ultra to a Vsett 8. They won me on the singnaling lights.
I love that you are reviewing scooters
They are a ton of fun to ride and review.
the best vsett 8r is the one with the 21.0 ah battery
How long do they last when riding these scooter's
Well...there goes my stimulus check.
Haha I have a feeling lots of scooters will be bought with stimulus checks.
Thank you for doing your part to stimulate the economy.
@@freshlycharged which is much bigger floor deck between vsett8 and xiaomi m365,i’m thinking for a upgrade,is it worth it?
Would like for you to make a Vsett 8 R review.
This was the VSETT 8R that we reviewed. Sorry for the confusion. The R means that it has the bigger battery.
Is literally the same scooter with a big battery
Just want to say thank you for your helpfull video of review Vsett 8. I very happy with it
So this or the Etow SE?
Can you do a review on the Vsett 8+ and maybe a speed test between the 8 and 8+? I'm looking to get the 8+, because of the dual motors, the dual solid tyres and the LG battery pack. I think it's worth more than the 8.
Yes it does.Its a beast! ☝️✅A quick & powerfull dual motor hill
climber.☝️😂
you're amazing i like the region-specific links
Hey I have the Vsett 8 it's awesome how do I maintain the shocks. What lubricant do I use for the suspension. Need a video
Congratulations on the video. Kindly can you give me a link to buy more powerful LG battery for VSETT 8 ??????
Compare to Inokim quick 4, is it better in comfort and suspension?
Are you going to review the phantom. Cant wait
You should call them up and request we review it.
@@Andrew-vt4jt my dad will be a distributor for fluidfreeride in arizona zo maybe he can get you one in the future to review
I'm a xiaomi m365 and looking to upgrade to better escooter that is lightweight, has awesome front rear suspensions, waterproof and faster speed than m365. Does Vsett8 fit the bill? I'm from the Philippines and none has reviewed this escooter yet since its newly released. Reply if you think there are other escooters that fits my needs other than Vsett8.
I think this would suit your needs!
Jimmy the indicators on the 8 seem circular and smaller than the vsett 9 and seem to be housed almost more inside the deck with part of it almost overhanging the light but on the 9 they are triangular shape and completely on the outer edge of the deck. Does this make the vsett 8 indicators a bit more visible in the day with lots of light and sunlight around as they are almost under shade cos of the slight overhang? Having indicators that really work for safety is a big plus for me. If only they had them on the handlebar ends too!
Is it waterproof???
Were there any problems with the front brake (holes, curbs, humps on the road) since the cable is set quite low?
No cable problems.
The v8 has been out for awhile now. Is there anything better or faster now a days that's compact and similar in size?
Ok, this might be a beginner question 😂 but, with the 2 ports it comes with to charge, can I use the 54v charger it comes with, and a 24v charger I already have? Or should I only use the one it comes with?
only use the one with it
Hey.
Maybe I missed it in the video, but what's the realistic range for the 8+?
How do you get the true top speed mines limited to 25kmh
Are these no longer sold… the 8+? Can’t find it anywhere.
You can find it, but is so very expensive... Ezotron t8 is the better variant! The same scooter and lower price! check them out.
I currently have a Zero 8 and 9 and i'm wondering if the deck size is the same for the vsett series 8 and 9 can somebody confirm? I would like to upgrade my internal battery in the zero 8/9 if the deck size is the same because they sell very large batteries in those new Vsett scooters!
I am interesting to get 8 plus model with 90K of range. Speed is not a big deal. But range is... i read that weight only 22 kilos... important to me because i must carry scooter to apartment to recharge it.. i do own ninebot max with 65K. And you say that 8 plus have solid tires that is another plus..
Solid tires? Good luck changing the tires.
I’m having trouble deciding between the vsett8 or the kaabo mantis 8 dual 500w motor... please help!
It is currently on sale for $600, would you recommend getting it?
Heck yeah!
Which is the app you used as speedometer?
Is it possible to unlock with phone on Zero Z8pro? Maybe you can do video for all of us with instructions? Thanks
Do you have a NFC card reader on the Z8pro or keyed lock?
@@Andrew-vt4jt , its like in the video 55s czcams.com/video/S4xVpDYf1LM/video.html . A little different card from vsett
@@fuxaster that should work if you have an android to program.
@@Andrew-vt4jt I have tried with the instructions, but either samsung phone, either galaxy watch does not react at all. Maybe you can post video in the future? Thank you
Can we customize it like changing the deck color?
Can the headlight on the Vsett 8 be upgraded to a brighter option?
I think they forgot to mention that vsett 8 has three gears. If you reach 3rd gear, its top speed can reach 38km/h
Could also be because of the cold. I currently ride an unlocked xiaomi pro 2, and top speed on a 20-25*c day is 33kph, top speed on a 15*c morning is more like 29kph.
Im not surprised that with snow around, a 38kph scooter is only doing 34kph. In fact, I'm actually impressed that it's only dropped a little bit
So to get new tires on the 8+ you need to get new motors?
Can it be rolled in the closed position? Sometimes I have to roll my Gotrax around like on the train platform and it’s good for that but the range and power not so much.
Which is much bigger floor deck between vsett8 and xiaomi m365?
Do u have to refill the tires
In Europe there's a 19.8 ah version being sold. Any chance that's actually the R version just labeled wrong?
Is that the VSETT 8 or 8+? There's like four different battery versions the dealers were choosing when picking the scooter they were carrying.
@@Andrew-vt4jt just the 8, they aren't even carrying the 8+ in most places cause it'll eat into 9+ sales
@@Andrew-vt4jt if as you say in the vid the 16ah is the most they could pack in the plus it makes sense that's the only battery option
@@Goodman-4525 that's what I was thinking but want to clarify. Yes, the dealers had like four battery sizes to choose from when ordering. It's been confusing for me because there is so many variations. My specifications on our blog are based on what's available in the US.
@@Andrew-vt4jt yeah I think the 19ah is a bit unecessary for the 8 tbh,

I have one but the wires need to be re wired as acouple were cut for some reason. need to know how to fix
What app do you use to connect to the scooter? Thanks.
I yust boot my VSETT8 . And Im newe rider literally i didnt newer ride scuter in my life ( I hawe MTB full suspension) but 3 f..king days is raining and I'm going crazy like I'm some kid. And rain yust stopped and its wet so I riden 5kilometars is it OK or not to ride on wet ground . And suspension is nice for hols.

Hey my vsett 8 is new. But my handlebars. Is coming loose when I'm riding it all the time what do I need to do to fix it?
hey there. i have an vsett 8+ and i am wondering if any of you guys have the same problem as me. when the street is wet / rains, the water splashes all up on my body because the back. it seems that the back fender is not good enough?
NFC card ? can I copy so I can use my smartphone to unlock the scooter ?
Does it have a seat option?
Just got mine, where can I get a fast charger for it?
How’s the ride with the vsett 8+ having both solid tires?
Surprisingly comfortable. Sometimes two solid tires can make my teeth chatter when hitting cracks.
The great suspension makes up for the solid tires.
@andrew @jimmychang
Where can we purchase the VSETT 8+
Thank you both for the excellent content!
It's quite good on rough bumpy grass & roads.
Great torque with the dual motors on steep UPHILLS.
Not for deep pothole though.Real fun to ride it.

What about this scoot vs. The Apollo city??
Regen braking?

What should I get, Vsett 8 or Zero 9?

Where can I buy the medal cap for vsett 8? what is the name
How if key card lost or broken
do a dualtron thunder vid!
I'm trying to make it happen!
I heard it had an inflatable tyre at the front?
That is correct for for the single rear motor 8 model. The dual motor 8+ has solid tires front and rear.
This or the emove touring? I'm looking to use during the weekends for fun not too commute.
Emove definetly has more range but not sure about other things, vsett looks much better to me.
@@HellGod67 I ended up getting a Kaabo mantis pro SE. Definitely worth the extra money. We actually also own an emove touring now as well. Definitely not worth the $900 brand new for my needs.
@@NOFATCHICK1 love the mantis but way to many flats , and the motor kept getting destroyed after every attempt in fixing the flat , so ya I’m done with air tires I’m going with solid
@@final_counter8836 I put military grade slime in the tires haven't had a flat on over 400 miles. Solid tires are only good for scooters under 28mph I wouldn't want to go any faster on just solids.
@@NOFATCHICK1 I’ve used slime so many times , sadly it would still get a flat and the slime just makes the motor and wheel All gross
this one will be replacment for mine ninebot max when will die... ialmost 100km of range. and i can still carry 21 kilos in one hand... great for long cruising that i often do.
Hi everyone, I've a Vsett 8 and I've a problem with my rear shock. It's a very unpleasant sound like gnek gnek gnek.
Do this also happen to someone else?
Best regards from Madrid!!!
Yes it's normal for this unit. I haven't found an easy fix yet but I've seen other riders replace the rear fender with a longer/custom fender.
Isn't this Zero Z8 Pro?
On stores it says 62 mile range, but it's really only 30?
im 120lb i can get upto 35miles , full speed, 15.6ah

Vsett 8 basic , real velocity?
I had the Zero 8 both solid tyres and my suspension broke, was wondering if that is common with scooter with Solid tyres?
Zero 8 is not for going off-road, even Zero 9 is for in-city commuting.
You might switch to solid tires with honeycomb holes for comfy ride without the trouble of tire puncture.
It must of been ridden on hard bumpy surfaces to break suspension.!!!
It's really not for hard offroading.

Hi! only 21 miles top speed?
Got mine to 25 on my first day
Is there a option to upgrade the headlight? Is there a workaround to setting the speed mode on start automatically? I heard it's a real inconvenience having to do every time starting the scooter. Is there a setting to get more torque for inclines on the Vsett 8 ? Thanks
Anyone else with a vsett 8 make a noise from the mudflap hitting the rear tyre on uneven grounds?
If so anyway to fix this?
I'd say pour boiling water on it then bend it back and let it cool off
Is it air tires or solid
The Vsett8+ is with solid tires. Never get a puncture!!!
It's like a mini tank!
SOLID 🙂.
The more e-scooter videos I watched. The more I regret getting a ninebot for my commute.
VSETT 8 is listed to have 34 miles/55 km range. May I know what gear this is based on? I know maximum range is dependent on weight of rider, etc. but 55km. max range is this only attainable when going gear 1 the whole trip?
Just bought one haha just wondering why there’s two charging ports are they for each battery or do I only need to put into one port
2 chargers charges the VSETT s 8+ battery quicker(in halftime).
