Vsett 8 Lite (NEW 2023)

A new generation of electric scooters

A new generation of electric scooters is here and is called VSETT! The VSETT 8 2023 is the smallest model of the electric scooter series made by this brand. It is an excellent, new generation single-motor electric city scooter developed by the team that has previously introduced the successful Zero scooters. This electric scooter series is characterised by quality, stability and safety. The VSETT 8 2023 boasts several innovations that take the development of electric scooters to a higher level. The whole structure is carefully balanced to maintain stability even at maximum speeds that may reach up to 42 km/h. As a standard, the scooter’s equipment includes LED lights integrated into the deck and the steering rod.

Safety and ride quality

Safety always comes first. The scooter’s components are installed in a new frame, which was designed for maximum riding stability. The comfortable folding mechanism is fast and, most importantly, safe thanks to its safety latch. The frame is made of a strong aluminum alloy used in the aerospace industry. The whole structure has been precisely balanced to maintain stability even at maximum speeds that may reach up to 42 km/h (depending on the battery size, rider’s weight, outside temperature and terrain). A proper scooter requires a quality braking system, which has been indeed given to this scooter. The proven front and rear drum brake can brake effectively even at the scooter’s top speed. Combined with the electric ABS in the rear wheel supplemented with the automatic deactivation system, braking will be a piece of cake. The quality and rigid structure of the entire scooter allows total load capacity of up to 120 kg. The scooter offers the option to activate the so-called “Kick-start” feature preventing any unwanted start up. The functional fenders and IP44 certification are a matter of fact. This means that you do not have to worry about bad weather or your clothes getting dirty. The easy-to-maintain step-on anti-skid surface preventing the rider from slipping in bad weather or extreme situation comes as a bonus. As a standard, the scooter’s equipment includes LED lights integrated into the deck and the steering rod which, combined with front and rear turn signals and mechanical horn, allow the rider to ride safely both during day hours and in poor visibility.

Power and range

The VSETT 8 electric scooter has a single powerful carbonless electric motor providing 600 W nominal power and producing a total peak output of up to 850 W. Combined with a 23A control unit and new thermal protection circuits, the scooter likewise allows the rider to ride up the hill. The scooter’s power is controlled by a popular finger lever. LG’s intelligent 48V lithium-ion battery supports fast charging and promises a long range (depending on the selected battery capacity: 15.6 Ah, 19.2 Ah or 21 Ah, rider’s weight, weather conditions, terrain and riding style) between 55 and 85 km (in ECO mode). Located at the top of the deck, the two charging ports are accessible from both sides. Meaning, it does not matter whether you park your scooter with the right or left side facing the wall. Naturally, these charging ports are equipped with a protective cap. The battery does not suffer from any undesirable memory effect, which is why it will last many years, subject to proper charging and maintenance!

Use and practicality

Its rigid structure and sufficient power predestine this scooter to living an urban life. Thanks to the powerful electric motor, the VSETT 8 2023 can even handle a small incline. When riding in a city, you will appreciate smooth power delivery and agility of the scooter. You do not have to worry about your scooter giving up on you on a longer trip. You will love the comfortable chassis, which you will appreciate on cobblestones, for instance. The scooter’s weight varies between 20 and 23 kg depending on the battery size. However, despite robust design, the scooter is compact, so you can take it without problems inside a restaurant, for example. Carrying the scooter over a short distance does not require too much effort, however you will sweat a little if you need to carry it to a higher floor of an apartment building without elevator. By its size, the scooter fits inside the trunk of a normal car without problems, but do expect it to take up some space. This said, it remains an excellent city scooter.

Body, design and equipment

The scooter has a nice design that combined with black & gray-green color scheme looks truly great. The frame and folding handlebars are made of wrought aerospace aluminum alloy. This combination gives the scooter the rigidity it needs to ensure rider’s safety. Taking care of your comfort are the front and rear spring shock absorbers, the 8.5-inch front inflatable tire, the 8-inch rear solid tire and comfortable ergonomic grips on the handlebars. The scooter’s folding mechanism was designed to use a lever mechanism, which can be also used to fix the steering rod in a folded position. This gives you the certainty that you can fold the scooter at any time whenever you have to carry it somewhere or load it into a car. Located at the rear of the machine, the integrated handle makes it easier to carry and load the scooter and allows better lifting of the scooter. The VSETT 8 scooter is equipped with a large and easy-to-read display with NFC lock, activated by a chip in the form of a dongle, NFC-compatible smartphone or smartwatch. The display shows all important data, such as speed, current gear, daily kilometers travelled (TRIP), total kilometers travelled (ODO) and the current battery level. Thanks to its high brightness level, the display stays legible even in adverse weather conditions.
