I appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos. I also appreciate your honesty when doing the reviews. If you don’t like something you say something about it. It gives potential buyers something to think about before dropping large amounts of money. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, I can't really help it as it is my nature. Most review channels cater to the manufacturers and that is a sad state of affairs. I will say my honesty has really limited companies desire to send me scooters and bikes to review, read into that as you will. Cheers and thank you very much for the kind words.
The amount of detail you (and other reviewers) but mainly yourself that you put these tests through helped me come to my conclusion and get the Vsett9+R so thanks Jim you really went into full detail and testing. Such a fantastic make
You are very kind, I do put a lot of time into these reviews. I feel like perhaps too much! I'm glad it helped out out, that has always been my goal. Cheers!
@@ElectronSurfer Always grateful for the advice speaking of which I noticed you just put a How to clean your Scooter vid very useful as I will be bringing mine to spec each time. It's about time to get around to sliming (puncture sealant) my tires.. trippy and nerve racking. Must be done though I'm quite serious and confident enough to be out on my Scooter for a few hours now so far I just been out on 6-9 mile trips but after today I'm going to go further Thanks again Jim!!
HEY MY MAN!! THIS IS TAZ, FROM THE BAY AREA! ANOTHER GREAT REVEIW! THANKS!!
Hey TAZ! Good to hear from you, thanks!
Very Well Presented And Excellent Professional Service.
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
thank you for the detailed review
You got it, thanks for commenting!
Great review! Thanks
Sure thing!
Great video bud, I think I know which one I would like to get! 9+ looks like the one for me.
The 9+ is my favorite dual motor to date, like the quickness with the light weight!
Excellent review!
Thank you!
Thx for the review! Phenomenal results from the 9R! Projected range of 27mi going 15-20 is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! For comparison, I get 30mi on the 8R going 17-19mph with 1 or 2 bars left as a 230lb rider. The hill climb impressed me too, esp. the 9+R. The range on the 9+R is disappointing though. I want one of these but I think I'm leaning more towards 9R.
Yeah the dual motors are kind of the Achilles Heel of range, single motors with big batteries are really where it is at for max range. Thanks for the comment and if you get a 9R let me know how it goes for you. Cheers
Don't use dm unless you need it or for fun then 200 difference is worth it trust me
What's the minimum height you y to be to ride the vsett 9 and 9+ because I'm a teenager and it's made for adults
Another great review! Second of yours I've watched - first being the Dualtron Mini. Liked and already subbed. Any plans on reviewing the VSETT 8 / 8+? Soon I hope.
Thanks again, the Vsett 8 video will be out shortly!
@@ElectronSurfer Great! Assuming the build quality of it and the Dualtron Mini is similar, the VSETT8 seems like much better value - what with the wishbone suspension, adjustable handlebar height, foldable handlebars, and built in turn signals. Down here in Colombia, at about $900 USD, it's cheaper than the Dualtron Mini too - by about $300.
@@streetphone4619 True, the single motor Vsett 8 is noticeably slower, especially climbing hills but the ride is great!
@@ElectronSurfer Thanks again for replying. I find that now I am thinking of the VSETT 9+ or 10+. At 6'2" the 10+ would probably fit the best but I'm not sure that I want to spend the extra $750.
Please vsett 8+ with dual motor.
Could you give the folded height measurements at the collapsed handle bar and also at the stem lock ??
I need both of these to see if it fits in a space I have.
Thanks
I put most measurements in the description but I had stopped putting the totally folded ones as most companies seem to show this accurately on their website. I don't have the scooter anymore to check those other ones for you.
I would like you to review the vesset 8+ plz
I plan to get one of those as soon as they are back in stock!
🖤love the duel button especially when downtown at Bengals large crowds there's no use of really having the duel button at use. Takes off way too quick if around large crowds with no straight away.
Great point, dual is awesome to be able to turn off! Have you been a Bengals fan long enough to know the Ickey Shuffle? Thanks for the comment!
@@ElectronSurfer was born 1978
@@MrWavecap I have you by just a few years, 1988 was a good year for the Bengals!
What does the "R" stands for, what's the difference with the 9 and 9+?
Thanks for asking, Vsett has soooo many options it can be confusing. So the + means dual motors and the R means it has upgraded batteries, typically LG vs. Sinc cells. Options are nice but sometimes they are too nice. Thanks for asking!
What bike light would you recommend for the vsett 9 single motor
I have a few bike light videos on this playlist ruclips.net/p/PLmgmCDfmaeuFBe2YRAvEmcz6b8bucQFjG. I use both of them. Ginger On Wheels came up with a light that is slick. My advice is look for a metal bodied option with a few light modes, there are a mind boggling number of options. Thanks
i weigh like 130 pounds do u think i should get the 10+ or save money and get the 9+ cuz im light?
I haven't ridden the 10+ that much but they don't ride very much alike. I don't think rider weight makes much of a difference with these. I would say if you like a light nimble feeling scooter that can still fly, go 9+. If you don't care about that, it's weight moving it around/lifting, and want even more speed go 10+.
Have you done 9+R range test in single motor and how it compares to dual motor?
I did not, but I did test these two scooters on the same route with about the same speed. The efficiency for single vs dual motor was nearly the same, a surprise to me.
Really wondering what's the ride quality on the 9+ on bad asphalt, because of those 9 inch tires. I wonder if it's the same or worse than Inokim OX . And what is the real world range with speeds 40_50kmh
I didn't have any issues, which was surprising, I think the wider width helps. I don't ride that fast but I'd expect something in the 15-20 mile range at those kind of speeds.
@@ElectronSurfer can you please help me with this,
Tldr :is vsett 10+ substantially more stable than vsett 9/9+
Like better stability? don't really need that power but I care about turning while going fast and not crashing. What about Mantis pro is it better than vsett 9+(avain stability ?
I had a kugoo M4 pro 3 weeks ago with 10 inch treaded tires I got to feel what i wanted for my first scooter returned it and though vsett 9+ would satisfy all mt WANTS( even though it had 8.5 inch I've heard that the 3 inch width would make it as stable as 10 inchers) and it did , so now I have the vsett 9+ with 15 km (3 times riding it to work) I absolutely love it I just wonder if it's worth 900 euros more for a vsett 10 + since I moved I have a elevator at my new place, so 35 kg weight is not an issue but the question is, is it more stable like substantially better stability? don't really need that power although in a couple of months it would be fun to go(to do some mods and go 60-70 kmph.
@@sohaibmahagri5037 Thank you for the comment. From my experience tire size is the #1 stability factor like you alluded to, followed by handlebar width. The last thing that is tougher to explain is trail, basically the separation between the handlebar center and axle center, more separation is more stable, think a chopper motorcycle.
I liked the 9+ more than the 10+ but do think the 10+ is a little more stable. I don't think that difference is much and to me, wouldn't be worth the extra cash. Perhaps someone else will chime in as well, thanks!
@@ElectronSurfer thanks for the comment yeah I ended up paying extra to return it and got vsett 10 plus. And now I will be working in that same store 😁cuz I love scooters.
My issue with the 9 plus was the range and I absolutely hated the fact that I had to charge it to 10 percent everytime or it won't go the hills on my commute i was shocked when I had 70 percent and I couldn't go up the hills (steep). So range was an issue
Hi, I was wondering how the movement in the stem is compared to the Zero 9? I had that one before and thought it moved too much and felt unstable. Wondering since I'm considering the 9+R.
alot better than zero 9
Don't waste your money on this scooter go for dualtron 3 or dualtron eagle. Or the kaabo mantis pro 60volts 24,500 mah
@@rcmafia2 It all depends on what someone wants. The ride is much nicer on the Vsett, comparable to the Eagle Pro. if you want sheer power and speed then sure a Mantis Pro or DT 3 could be good.
Do they have regenerative braking
Yes, it engages when you hit the brake lever. You have to set the strength in the P settings. I tend to keep it low or off. To me it only works ok and doesn't feel as good as what Segway does. I hope that helps!
Surprised how little difference there was in the range assessment. It seems like mainly a trade off between acceleration/top speed and range between 9+R and 9R. And even then for a near $400 dollar difference, may not be worth the dual motors for the average commuter.
@freeHorizon, it was surprising and you are right. I think the Vsett 9 may have a few too many options/configurations, it can be a little confusing. The dual motor range penalty for your battery size probably doesn't make sense for a lot of people, especially commuters.
My choice of New scooter was the Kaabo Mantis 8 Pro... But this Vsette 9+ has got me thinking again. However, I really like the simplicity of KM8 Pro design. Have you reviewed the Kaabo ? And if so, how do you think the 2 compare ?
Hey there, sorry for my slow reply. I have not reviewed the Mantis Pro but did the regular Mantis. They are really different animals entirely. If you like light weight and quick scooters the 48v dual motors on the 9+ are excellent. If you want real power the 60v is in a different league for top speed and acceleration. Personally I don't ride fast enough to make the top speed difference worth the small amount of acceleration gain. Folding is smaller and carrying is easier on the Vsett. I hope that helps!
The Mantis 8 Pro is 48V. (Not 60V). (You are obviously mixing it up with the Mantis 10). The 8 is 24AH (Pro). It has a good range, yet it weighs less than 27kg.
I'm not usually a Speed Demon, but I do like to have the power and the range. Here in the UK, it can be had for a Paltry £1,200. ($1,414.80). The Apollo Ghost is £1,500. However, The M8Pro is a Better scooter for less money ! Thanks for the reply !
@@robinarden8877 You are right, I was mixing it up. I think the biggest difference is going to be weight, looks like at least 10 lbs more for the Mantis. Kaabo motors tend to have a little more noise than the Vsett. I think of the 9+ as kind of a sleeper, it is super quiet. The Vsett has nice ergonomic handlebars that fold. If you will be doing much folding and transporting the Vsett is probably a good option, if not likely Kaabo. Cheers!
The weight difference is about 2lbs. Vsett is about 25kg, while the M8Pro is almost 27kg. The Vsett motors are 650W, while the M8Pro's motors are 800W... (According to their website) Vsett have 3 choices of AH, (15.6, 19.2 and 21). The M8Pro is 24AH.
You can get the M8Pro in blue, red, silver and black. But the Vsett comes just the 1 colour. They will both do over 30mph. (But I suspect the M8Pro is bit faster than the Vsett). Looking at all the evidence... I guess I've just talked myself into the M8 Pro !
However, I will keep my options open, (until I have enough money for the purchase). Which will be 4 - 6 weeks... The new Mantis 10 is another option. They now come with a 48V, 800W motor. (Peak power 1600W). Weight is just over 24 kilos. Top speed is 30 plus. But the best thing about it is the price. I can get the new Mantis 10 Lite Plus, (2nd one up in the range) for as little as £670, ($792). It's very tempting, but I told myself, my next scooter will be a dual motor. (Now I'm back to the M8 Pro !) And I almost forgot... The M8 Pro comes with Dualtrons EY3 display (Which is a big deal)
@Sister Mary Clements Great! Test Riding makes all the difference, when I was selling scooters over 50% of people ended up liking a different scooter than they expected to. I do wish they offered multiple colors...some day hopefully. Thank you for reporting back!
Hallo is raining problem?
The scooter has IP54 water resistance, however the warranty does not cover damage related to "moisture or dampness". The deck is nicely sealed but I would suggest caulking if you plan to ride in the rain. Like most scooters it is not suggested to ride regularly in the rain and if you do make sure your charge port covers are in place. I hope this helps you!
Are you going to make Kaabo Wolf Warrior X?
If Voro will send me one sure, I buy pretty much everything I review and after buying the Wolf Warrior 11+, I won't buy another Wolf.
How many hours for charging the Vsett9+?
I had long recharge times with this scooter, 10-11 hours for me.
Do you think it would be possible to put a 52V battery in the 9+?
This should be possible since the scooter body is exactly the same. You may also have to change controllers which could be difficult to find. It is also quite expensive to just buy batteries for these scooters, much more expensive than you would expect.
@@ElectronSurfer I suppose the more Volt the better acceleration?
@@RUclipsCommentator. Generally yes, volts really equals power. If it then has the same output controller you will get more power.
@@ElectronSurfer Great. The 9+ should hit 53km/h, but mine stops at 47km/h. I weight 77kg. If I lift the back wheel up, it’s stops at 50km/h. So it seems like there is a limiter🤷♂️
I have seen a RUclips video where the rider hits 58 km/h.
@@RUclipsCommentator. I think you are seeing the limiter, rider weight! Did they have the 9+R? the LG cells could give a little higher top speed.
I have the 9 and let me tell you upgrade to solid honey comb tires:) no flat tires at all :)
I didn't know they made them for the Vsett, thanks for sharing!
hello electron surfer, im in the market now for my first e scooter, i want it to be long lasting and dont wanna have regrets after. I am confuse between imove cruiser and vsette 9+r, i know imove cruiser has really phenomenal range, good ip rating and tons of spare part with build quality issues that bolts and screws lossen every now and then. The vsette 9+ has good build quality they say and great suspension like floating in the clouds. which one would you recommend for.
Thank you and more power to your channel
Hello there, I think the biggest decision you have is one you already pointed out, RANGE. In my opinion the only reason to buy a Cruiser, especially these days, is because you want 50+ mile range. If you don't, then I think there are much better options, the Speedway Leger Pro for single motors. All of the Vsett scooters ride great, their suspension is a step above everything I have reviewed. Then it just comes down to weight and speed (dual single) to choose between the 8, 9, or 10. I hope this is helpful, free to ask more if not! Thanks
Vsett 8+ ??
Baller, I would love to, I'll see if I can get one!
I'm looking for a VSETT where I can get a high operating range/ cost efficiency with decent speeds, which led me to the VSETT 8 19.2Ah... Compared to the KQi 3 MAX & the SegwayG30 max seems like the better route to go🤞🏽(what do you think?)
Hello, I haven't tried the Niu or Segway. I think the Vsett is well above the Segway but closer to the Niu. To me the biggest difference will be the suspension and more compact fold of the Vsett. I would expect them all to perform about the same from acceleration, range on that larger battery should be very good. The 8+ would be fun but your range will drop with dual motors. Please let me know which way you go.
9+ has hydraulic brakes, the 9 has wired. Big difference you didn't mention.
It there are hydro brakes on the 9+ that is new, these were both mechanical disc brakes...I wouldn't miss that geez! Looking at RevRides.com they appear to still both be mechanical.
Only 30 miles range?
That's all I got as a 175lb rider.
@@ElectronSurfer So it has slightly higher range than vsett 8 ?
@@sukmikehok1384 Yes a bit more range, here is a link to my testing results. www.electronsurfer.com/electric-scooter-data/
I managed to get 64 km on my 9+ with the 15.6ah battery and I weigh 184lbs
That is some amazing efficiency, how fast are you going?
@@ElectronSurfer 28km/h use regenerative braking going downhill regen set to 2 accelerate when approaching uphill Coast as much as possible mostly driving it like a baby acceleration set to 1
A nice scooter but it has a complicated to folding mechanism for rolling and not easily to carried. It seems you wouldn’t want to have to do that when you’re not riding.
@yanassi, after a few times the folding mechanism isn't much of a problem. I think it is easier than the foot stomp type. The Vsett 9 handle hooks in pretty well for lifting, none of these scooters over 40lbs are great for carrying though. Thanks
Cable management alone is enough to be a deal breaker. Especially when they command premium over other brands.
I can't argue with that. With cables I tend to like them externally routed as I care a lot about serviceability, that being said it can really start to look untidy.
That fender rattle is awful. That would drive me nuts
@Dean H, that is why I like to include actually riding sounds. I don't really notice it over the wind noise over 15mph. It is a poor design and I'll have so shims make up for it soon.
Jesus Loves all of you guys
sweet!
Jai achete la vsett 9 et je suis tres decu le materiel est de tres mauvais qualite en 500km jai crever 4 fois et une fois le disque de frein voile. De plus on est loin des 60km autonomie annonce ou alors en roulant a 10km/h et encore... Pour 1500 Euro cest une Belle arnaque.
