Vsett 9+ Electric Scooter Review

As an enthusiast who has had the pleasure of exploring the capabilities of different electric scooters, diving into the Vsett 9+ has been an exhilarating adventure. The Vsett 9+ is an electric scooter that has been crafted for riders looking for a blend of performance, portability, and durability. Below, I share my personal experience with the Vsett 9+ after putting it through its paces.

Build Quality and Design

Upon unboxing the Vsett 9+, the scooter's quality is immediately apparent. The robust aluminum alloy frame exudes sturdiness, and the striking design with the bold Vsett logo gives it a premium look and feel. Even the folding mechanism is a testament to the attention to detail – it locks into place confidently with a reassuring click, reassuring me that safety was a priority in its design.

Performance and Ride Experience

The dual motors packing a combined power of 1400W peak power propel the Vsett 9+ to a top speed that is both thrilling and, honestly, a little daunting. Before setting off, I made sure to strap on my helmet because safety should never be an afterthought when riding an electric scooter capable of hitting north of 45 mph (72 km/h).

The acceleration is smooth yet punchy, courtesy of the throttle control that offers a nuanced response – a slight push for a gentle roll-out or a full press for an adrenaline-pumping surge. With a range of up to 45 miles (72 km) on a single charge, dependent on rider weight and riding conditions, long excursions were made possible with minimal concern about battery life.

Comfort and Handling

Let's talk comfort because the Vsett 9+ doesn't fail to deliver in this department either. The dual suspension system – composed of a front spring and a rear hydraulic setup – makes short work of potholes and bumps. It is not just effective but exceptionally tuned to strike a harmonious balance between soft enough to absorb rough terrain and firm enough to maintain stability at high speeds.

The deck is spacious, supplying ample room for my feet, and the grippy surface ensured they stayed put, even when I ventured over wet patches on the road. The pneumatic tires enhance the ride quality further – at 8.5 inches, they are not the biggest on the market but certainly do the trick in providing necessary traction and comfort.

Portability and Practicality

Despite its robust build, the Vsett 9+ is surprisingly portable. The scooter folds swiftly, and the secure locking mechanism means carrying it is not the wrestling match that it can be with some other high-power scooters. That said, at 52 lbs (23.6 kg), it isn't something I would want to carry for long distances but it's manageable for short hops or to load into a vehicle.

The IP54 water resistance rating means it can handle splashes and some rain, though I would always exercise caution and avoid riding in heavy downpours for safety and to prolong the life of the scooter.

Lighting and Safety Features

Vsett has been comprehensive with the lighting on the 9+ model. The front headlight, along with the taillights and lateral LED strips, not only look good but also provide excellent visibility. Signaling turns with the built-in turn indicators is a standout feature that brings a new level of safety to scooter riding.

The dual disc brakes, complemented by the electric ABS, give sharp and reliable stopping power, which is essential given the scooter's potent performance. I must also mention the NFC key lock system – a welcome addition that provides a modern layer of security.

Final Thoughts

The Vsett 9+ is a scooter for the bold, for those who crave a combination of style, speed, and substance. The riding experience is spirited and confidence-inspiring, while the thoughtful features add to an already impressive package. It hits a sweet spot for those looking for an all-in-one high-performance electric scooter that doesn't compromise on the essentials of daily commuting.

The high-speed performance does mean that I would recommend this only for experienced riders who are well-versed in safe scooter operation and adhere to local regulations. For those ready for this caliber of electric scooter, the Vsett 9+ promises to be a reliable companion on both your daily commutes and your adrenaline-fueled explorations.

Pro Tip: Make sure you regularly check and maintain tire pressure. The pneumatic tires perform excellently when they are kept at the recommended PSI, maintaining both the comfort of your ride and the efficiency of your scooter.

Updated Ownership Experience After 6 Months

After owning the Vsett 9+ for over six months, I've discovered additional nuances about this scooter which are worth discussing. Positively, the reliability remains impressive; it has consistently started and performed well, even after repeated usage. Its robust build has proven to be durable against the wear and tear typically observed with frequent rides.

On the downside, I have experienced some minor quirks such as occasional squeaky brakes and a Bluetooth connectivity feature that can be temperamental. Additionally, while the folding mechanism is secure, it has become slightly more cumbersome over time and now requires a bit more force to operate smoothly.

Maintenance has been manageable, though users should be prepared for regular upkeep. This includes tightening screws and adjusting brakes that can loosen after extensive use. I've replaced the tires once, which is reasonable given the mileage I've covered.

Living with the Vsett 9+ has reaffirmed my initial impressions – it's an excellent high-performance scooter that demands and rewards careful maintenance. This scooter is still highly recommended for experienced riders looking for a robust, high-speed option in the oversaturated electric scooter market.
