Vsett 10+ Electric Scooter Review

I've had the pleasure of spending a good few weeks with the Vsett 10+ electric scooter, and it has been an adventurous ride filled with surprises. The Vsett brand has carved a niche for itself in the world of personal electric transport, and the 10+ model particularly stands out as a high-performance beast that aims to please both speed enthusiasts and daily commuters.

Design and Build Quality

At first glance, the Vsett 10+ sports a robust and rugged design that suggests it’s built for more than your casual neighborhood cruises. The frame is constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, which is not just lightweight but also gives the scooter a premium, sturdy feel. The dual-tone color scheme adds a touch of sleekness and modernity.

The wide deck provides ample space for a secure stance, and the added grip tape ensures your feet stay planted even when you're navigating through rough terrain. What I particularly appreciate is the folding mechanism - a decisive factor for portability. Vsett 10+ implements a secure and easy-to-use locking system that never once made me question the scooter’s stability when it was unfolded.

Motor and Performance

Now, let's get down to the business end – performance. The dual 1400W motors, which peak at 2800W, deliver a bewildering punch. They propel the Vsett 10+ to a maximum speed that can easily cross the 40 mph threshold, given the right conditions. However, it’s worth noting that you should always adhere to local regulations concerning scooter speeds.

The acceleration is impressive, and I have felt that push in my back every time I throttle up. The scooter comes with a turbo mode which, when engaged, feels like someone hit the fast-forward button on the world. As thrilling as it is, I recommend new riders to take time to get accustomed to the scooter's power before diving into the fastest settings.

Battery and Range

Equipped with a 60V 20.8Ah LG battery, the Vsett 10+ promises a range of up to 60 miles on a single charge, depending on factors like rider weight, terrain, and speed mode. From my experience, while riding at mixed speeds with average weight and on varied inclines, you can comfortably get about 45 miles before considering a charge. The battery is equally matched with a fast-charging ability, reducing downtime significantly. In essence, the 10+ is a solid choice for long commutes and extensive riding sessions.

Comfort and Ride Quality

The dual hydraulic suspension system per wheel is where the Vsett 10+ genuinely shines. It absorbs most of what the road has to throw at you, offering a pleasantly smooth ride even when you hit the occasional pothole or bumpy patch. The 10-inch pneumatic tires further complement the suspension, making it a scooter that doesn't shy away from high speeds on less-than-perfect roads.

One downside, though, it’s not supremely lightweight. At about 79 lbs, you’re not going to be carrying this scooter for extended periods. So, keep that in mind if your commute involves a lot of stairs or heavy lifting.

Safety

Safety is paramount when dealing with high-speed vehicles, and Vsett has not skimped on safety features for the 10+. The hydraulic disc brakes in the front and back, with an additional electronic braking system (EBS), provide ample stopping power. The first time I had to make an emergency stop, I was genuinely impressed by how quickly and smoothly the scooter came to a halt without the jerky motion you'd expect at high speeds.

Another impressive feature is the lighting. The Vsett 10+ is equipped with bright front and rear LED lights, along with additional side deck lights that not only enhance visibility during night rides but also add a futuristic aspect to the scooter's aesthetic.

Extras

The Vsett 10+ is not just about raw performance; it comes with a few niceties that make the ride experience more enjoyable. The QS-S4 throttle display is intuitive, showing all the necessary information at a glance – speed, battery level, and riding mode. It is easily viewable in various lighting conditions and adds to the high-tech feel of the scooter. There's also a useful NFC card lock anti-theft system for added security.

Conclusion

To sum it up, the Vsett 10+ is an electric scooter that demands respect. It's designed for someone seeking thrills but also needs a reliable daily mode of transportation. Performance-wise, it sits near the top of the food chain, and the build quality reassures that it’s a long-term investment. It’s true that its weight might be a con for some, but for power seekers and long-distance riders, the pros overwhelmingly overshadow the cons.

As exhilarating as it is practical, the Vsett 10+ is not just a fun ride; it's a statement of what electric scooters are capable of when pushed to their limits. If you're in the market for the upper echelon of personal electric transportation, the Vsett 10+ deserves your serious consideration.

Update After Six Months of Use

Having owned and extensively used the Vsett 10+ for over half a year, my experiences have deepened my appreciation for this powerhouse of a scooter, though not without recognizing its nuances.

Long-term Performance

The twin 1400W motors continue to impress with their robust performance and durability. However, like any vehicle, maintaining optimal performance requires regular upkeep. I noticed slight dips in acceleration and power, which were resolved with routine maintenance checks, emphasizing the need to stay on top of upkeep, particularly with high-performance models like the 10+.

Battery Insights

The 60V 20.8Ah battery has consistently delivered admirable range, though it naturally has shown some degradation. After months of use, the range has slightly reduced, but it still remains sufficient for most of my daily needs, typically clocking around 40 miles on a full charge with mixed usage.

Practical Challenges

The weight of the Vsett 10+ (79 lbs) increasingly became a practical concern, particularly when facing stairs or public transportation. For those considering this model, evaluate how often you'll need to carry the scooter. Additionally, I've had to replace the pneumatic tires once due to wear and punctures - a common issue for any scooter but noteworthy for potential owners to consider.

Continued Comfort and Safety

The dual hydraulic suspension and comprehensive lighting system continue to make every ride both comfortable and safe. There have been zero issues with the disc braking system, which remains responsive and reliable.

Overall Satisfaction

The Vsett 10+ remains a top contender in my fleet of personal electric scooters. It’s a premium scooter that demands and rewards responsible ownership with thrilling rides and reliability. For anyone who can accommodate its size and weight, the Vsett 10+ remains an excellent choice, showcasing the blend of fun and practicality that electric scooters can offer.
