Low maintenance, great power for hills and larger riders and a very comfortable ride. This is the VSETT 8+. It's my first time trying drum brakes and solid rubber tires on a mid range scooter. The VSETT 8+ ticks pretty well most of the boxes but is it perfect? - Auta a dopravní prostředky
The solid tires are certainly low maintenance, but I prefer pneumatic tires for ride comfort and traction/grip. For my air-tubed tires, I use anti-puncture tape on the inside of the tire (between the tube and the tire)...a cheap and effective solution. I also use SLIME sealant for inside the air tube. This has been very effective at me avoiding flats and the extreme headache of changing tires and/or tubes on a non-split rim. These preventative tips will never reach the level of solid tire when it comes to FLAT avoidance...but it is a significant improvement.
I have one too. The brakes needed adjustment for me. Now they are good. Also mine will only go at max 40kmh
Great review! I always enjoy your reviews. Am I getting older or theses things really seem too expensive. Some of these go above $5k
Yeah they can be big $$$. It’s mainly the huge batteries plus some of the components on the higher end models cost more but are much more robust which is what you want on something that can go as fast as some of them.
Nice scooter
Use p11 setting and turn up the electronic regenerative braking to 5 and it should help with braking but if you use it then it could damage ur controller in the long run so be aware
When is that G80 Sport review dropping?
Great scooter for my 12 year old ! Love the hight adjustable handlebars
I had the Gotrax Apex and it only went 15.5 MPH and the range was only like 11 miles. I just bought the 8+ And it’s going to be way better when comes
Do you really like it?
@@Frostorm777 i got the vsett 8 15.6ah ver for $650, it is amazing! but i just wish i got the Yume s10. cauz its just $200 more, n u got a huge 21ah battery, 1000W motor, top speed of 30mph! it's basically the top tier single motor scooter for da money. the reason y the top speed matters, is because the top speed of local in NYC is exactly 30mph . so u can literally ride it on the road. n it can go 30 - 40 miles, its a dream!
I like it but it has a lot of problems, first of all, all of the screws become super loose and you have to use tools to tighten them literally every week, also the screws strip extremely easily, a lot of people in the reviews say the same thing, I took all of the screws off and cleaned all of the oil off and added Loctite Blue Thread Locker to them. I also had one screw head break off a screw that is now stuck, and I have another screw that is partially stripped but not that much, the chargers for them are very cheap, the charger has this metal part that doesn't really need to be there but it broke off. I bought another charger so I have 2 and can charge it faster, The other charger for some reason got messed up and one of the metal prongs on the inside became bent in and would not fit, I got it to fit now and it fits better but still. My scooter also has this problem that occurs randomly where it just decided to go by itself as if I'm pulling the trigger even though I'm not and when this problem occurs, it is really dangerous and scary because you could fall off and crash and also when it starts, it lasts for days and then goes away by it's self. Also When you tigheten the screws, you need 2 allen wrenches because some of the screws are on a piece that rotates so you need one to hold one side. Make sure that when you tighten the screws, you don't just tighten them as much as possible, you have to loosen them first and then re-tighten them but do NOT tighten them as much as possible, just tighten them a lot. And make sure to fully clean all of the oil off the screws using paper towels and dry them off and then put blue loctite thread locker on them. Also I had thsi problem where the right break when pulled would get stuck in. I would have to stop, get off, and grab the break cable and move it around and the breaks would snap back out. Also sometimes the break cable in the front slips out of the small area it is held into because the cable goes in a sharp turn right out of the wheel so I had to get trickey, I took the break cable off and put it on the outside of the piec that holds the front wheel on and used a ziptie to keep it close but still allowing the bars to turn fully left and right and now the right break does not get stuck, if the breaks get stuck, do what I just said but also fully clean every puece of the the breaks at the bottom where the break cable connects to the wheel, then dry it off and then when it is completely dry, fully spray it with WD40, make sure that under/behind that small black piece on the side of the wheel that moves a little bit when you pull the breaks is fully clean and isn't jammed with dirt. Some of the screws do not need to be tightened like the small ones on the bottom sode of the deck and the ones tgat are sideways on the black part that is above the front wheel where the green part of the bars ends at the bottom. The most important screws to make sure are tightened are the 3 screws that are close by each other on the side right by the lever you pull to fold the scooter down. There are 3 on each side so technically 6 screws. Also the big black rubber hexagon screw near the front wheel does not need to be tightened. Making sure the screws are tightened all of the time is a HUGE turnoff for this scooter. You need to buy the exact tools. I would recommend just buying the same ones I have which are the 2 pack of the red and green Husky brand Allen Wrench multi tools that fold open. And then buy 2 of those metal adjustable wrenches that have 1 Handle because you will need 2, one to hold the screws on one side and one to tighten them. You will need them for the 4 screws that hold that suspension parts on that fold when you jump. You can also hit them up with WD40. Also you'll need those for the screws that hold the front and back wheels on. There are so many screws that you have to make sure are tightened and if you accidently use the wrong soze allen wrench or tighten a screw to fast or to much, you will strip the screw and damage it for ever. For this reason I do not recommend the Vsett 8+. Just make sure if you buy an electric scooter, make sure you do not have to tighten the screws every single month or few months because it is super annoying. I didn't know this when I bought it and the back reflector just fell off and is gone for ever because it became loose the day I got it. About 3 months after getting my scooter, it started to became super weak and it just sounded extremely loose and when I got home, all of the screws were sooooo loose that I could turn them with my hand. I guarantee so many people will not know this and just ride it for about a year until it gets sooooo loose and inevitably falls apart and breaks while riding it full speed causing them to get injured and need to go to the hospital. I also have this problem where the front wheel started squeaking super loud, like just soooo loud that it was a little bot embarrassing to ride outside because people would turn and stare at me but luckily it went away by it's self. I emailed them and asked if they could send me a replacement front wheel and they did not reply. Also if the break cable slips out of place in the front wheel, fix it right away by pulling the break cable back into place because this happened to me while riding in the winter and it was to cold to stop and fix it so i held the break open with mu hand until I got home. Then apparently after riding it, the bolt that you spin to loosen and tighten the breaks just fell off and was gone for ever, then I contacted vsett and was told they could not send me a new one and to visit a hardware store. I went to lowes and asked if they had one, i took the back one off and brought in and was told they did not have one. Then I bought a zero replacement break cable that came with what looked like the same bolt. Then luckily vsett randomly called me and asked if that was for my scooter that they saw I recently bought and I explained that I was hoping the screw would fit and told then what happened. They told me they will send me a mew piece, also before that, i ordered the break cable but for some reason they sent me a piece of a wheel for some reason by mistake I believe and they told me to send it back and eventually i got the right piece. Also there are a few other problems i had but this comment is to long so I'll just not add them. Also people in My family have the jetson bolt, jetson quest, gotrax apex. 2 electric skatebaords, and a custom electric bike and none of these have the same problems with the screws needing to be tightened all of the time or any of the other problems so I think this is just a problem with vsett scooters or maybe the loctite will solve the problem because I recently put it on for the first time, why don't they just come pre loctited? Also the included multi-tool is complete garbage and will bend and break asap
@lostanarchist5471 You sound like a beginner. 🥵
A couple years learning & you'll be 80% good.Thx.
@@8_x_9. I'm not a beginner, I've had so many electric things and have been riding them for over 2 years. The reason why people don't bring up these problems on reviews is because people who buy scooters to review and then return them only ride the scooter for a week or a few days and then review it. I've had mine for over a year and ride it to work and back every day. And most of the problems this scooter has has nothing to do with being a beginner, my scooter has screws on the inside that snapped in half by them selves and the throttle glitching and causing the scooter to go by itself has nothing to do with a beginner. I also take apart and repair PC's and game consoles. I know how to unscrew screws the proper way yet the Vsett screws strip by themselves super easily. Vsett is just an over priced, low quality brand with bad customer service
Have you tried the vsett10+ ?
Nice GoFlyease - we reviewed them in one of our videos but do you like yours?
Love them!! Wish they made more colors and styles. I’d buy more for sure. My show of choice for everyday comfort and convenience!
How will this do with hill climbing? What grade can it do?
How much do the lightest e-scooters weigh? Can the battery pack be removed before stowing in your trunk so as to make the scooter lighter to lift?
ON some higher ned larger scooters you can remove the battery but on the most part, the batteries are fixed. There are some very very light scooters out there but youre not going to get the same level of performance and comfort from the smaller ones.
can vsett 8+ take water? im living in the norway bunch of snow and rain
love ur content btw
your gonna want something that has better traction if riding in those conditions
Water resistant IP 54?
You must improve on that!!! Some good videos on it on Google & YT.😊
In 11.22 yus bot scooter and i didnt know nothing and 2workers told mee too giw litle more than 500€ ans it was black fridaj so i both Vsett 8 and it has full susp, san go 42kmh , lcd light,nfc car , for the 1.000€ its pimpt up max . I lov it. And its portable that is
For me best choice and its almost endustructikle
I was looking at the Segway ninebot g30 but decided I want something with suspension and more speed. I believe the Segway is rated IP54 weather resistant, this vsett 8+ has the same rating but someone told me it’s no where close to the Segway in weather protection.
Is this true? This looks perfect but being in a rainy city it’s important to me.
I’m not sure I can answer that as I’m not that familiar with the Segway. I do know that the Segway is no where near as powerful as this so if you’re a larger rider or have hills to conquer, this will be much better than the Segway. Personally I wouldn’t consider anything that goes less than 45km/h.
For a similar performance I would check out the segway p100s
Love your video how much does it cost? And what is the speed. And I passed the link. But don't see this scooter? 🙄
The scooter is there but it’s out of stock. It will do about 45 km/h
How fast 0-40kmh?
I enjoy the vsett8. It handles well. Problems are constant flat tires. Drum brakes are shit and a hazard to your life. If you can get hydraulic brakes dont even hesitate. Anything less is a death trap. I have to brake way ahead of time, if a car cuts you off its better to jump off then try to brake. I put both solid tires on and I got incredibly painful nerve damage and couldnt use one of my arms for 2 weeks just due to the damn vibrations. I do love riding but go air tires and hydraulic brakes. Crashing due to the ignorance of others is no fun.
You can spin the nut that is on the end of the break cable on the front wheel and that will tighten and loosen the breaks, just tighten them so that they are more sensitive
Check your drum brake adjustments. Also, check to make sure you have a comfortable e-brake setting in your P-menu settings. The e-brake should assist the drums, as well.
How can you fix some flex/wobble in the stem?
You have to loosen and retighten all of the screws with 2 allen wrench multi tools. Just buy the 2 pack of husky brand multi tools that cokes with the red one and green one. Take the screws off and completely dry them off with paper towels and get all of the oil off and off of the inside of where each screw goes. Then apply Loctite Blue Thread Locker to each screw. Tighten each screw and then Wait 24 hours for the thread locker to harden and that will prevent the screws from loosening by them selves. There are 3 screws on each side right by the handle that you pull to fold it closed and they become super loose over time. Loosen them and then tighten them again and apply thread locker. Those 3 or 6 screws hood together the locking and folding mechanisim
I'm a Vsett 8 owner and I'm really curious if the 8+ with those two solid tires make a huge difference in less ride comfort compared to the V8 with a pneumatic front.
I'd say it makes a pretty big difference. Better grip with the pneumatic bit probably more wear as well
@@EverydayReviews2022 Yeah i assume those two solid tires are also going to be so slippery when riding on wet roads, though I understand there will be no flats. I wish they had better breaks on the 8+
Do the screws on your Vsett 8 become super loose and need to be retightened every few weeks?
@@DARK_AMBIGUOUS nope they don't. But if just in case, then loctite is an easy fix
Hello, I recently bought this Vsett9+ scooter. I saw that at position P03: Voltage level: 24V, 36V, 48V, 52V, 60V. What do these voltages mean? If I set 24V or 60V, is there any change in the way the scooter is used? Does it change the degree of battery wear? Do they increase their performance at the maximum range to approach the range indicated by the manufacturer? And there is one more thing, at position 10, 13, 14, 19, it says Reserve. What can this be used for? Can someone enlighten me? Thank you in advance.
Also, I don't know much information about this scooter. I don't know English very well, for help I also use google translate, so if someone who already has this scooter model and wants to help me with some improvements or suggestions regarding better safety when using the scooter, please let me know in written, attached to this message, thank you. I wish you safe roads!
It is a generic controller used on many models/brands. Make sure the voltage is set to the factory spec (e.g.: the battery's rating). Be careful not to mess with the voltage level.
I bought one and found few bad sides alredy. Once on speed 25 kph or more it dangerously wobles, brakes are poor, a small dirt on road is enough to disturb stability and battery life is short (25 km on charge).
Unfortunately there’s always a compromise when it comes to size and portability. I love how easy this is to fold and transport. I have a big 2400w 90 lb Kukirin G3Pro that’s a beast and so solid but with an enormous weight and size penalty. The bigger they are the smoother they are at higher speeds IMO
Can't understand why they don't seal them enough to be waterproof in case you're caught in the rain and hit puddles.
They're all water resistant but apparently its very hard to make them completely waterproof.
@@EverydayReviews2022 did u ride with some rain mate?
I have the Vsett 8+ and I ride it in heavy rain all of the time. I even ride threw a deep puddle that basically submerged the entire deck under water for 20 seconds 3 times one day and it is perfectly fine. Just make sure you dry off the metal parts like the screws and the metal pieces that hold the wheel on and any other raw metal pieces, dry them off when you get home with paper towels because now mine has rust all over it and inside all of the screws and around the metal pieces that hold the wheels on. Always dry it iff when you come in from the rain
can't you adjust the breaks so its more sensitive?
You can turn on the E-braking which adds a lot more braking but I'm not a fan of e-brakes as it feels unatural for me. There's always a little delay before they hit.
I heard ebrakes can ruin the controller. Not sure uf its true but I dont want to risk it.
I adjusted my brakes but u have to squueze the life out of em you will have carpel tunnel by the end of a 30min ride.
@@pacochawa2746 so i ended up actually buying the vsett8+ i feel you on the breaks lol idk if theres any way to make it better lol
@@pacochawa2746 nope, they are good also because the e-brake recharge your battery when used!
09:15 is that the Motor wire??? omg
Wtf why was it like that. I have the 8+ and it is not like that at all
Problem is it is too slow for 600 watts, unlocked m365 pro leaves it in the dust even with significantly heavier driver on it. Brakes are awful, range is great, suspension is really comfy for light riders.
The breaks just come to loose so you have to tigheten them and most people don't understand how. Also the 8+ has 2 850 watt motors I believe. I have it
