VSETT 8 electric vehicle

Description

The VSETT 8 is a compact, foldable commuter scooter built around a 48V single rear hub motor rated at 600W. It runs an 8.5-inch pneumatic front tyre paired with a solid rear tyre, and carries dual adjustable coil-spring swingarm suspension front and rear — a setup independent reviewers single out as unusually comfortable for a scooter of this size. The base model uses a 48V 15.6Ah LG-cell pack (about 750Wh); the VSETT factory also offers extended 19.2Ah and 21.0Ah configurations. Braking is handled by a rear drum brake supplemented by electronic ABS and an automatic power-off function, while a QS-S4 throttle display shows speed, mode, mileage and battery state. An NFC key-lock immobiliser and IP54 splash resistance round out the package. The VSETT 8+ variant shares the same chassis but swaps in dual front-and-rear hub motors (1200W nominal, 2200W peak) and twin solid tyres, trading a little ride comfort for stronger acceleration and hill-climbing.

Highlights

  • 600W single rear hub motor on a 48V platform (8+ adds a second motor)
  • Dual adjustable coil-spring swingarm suspension, front and rear
  • Mixed tyres: 8.5-inch pneumatic front for cushioning, solid rear to resist flats
  • Rear drum brake with electronic ABS and automatic power-off
  • QS-S4 throttle display plus NFC key-lock immobiliser
  • IP54 splash resistance and a foldable stem for transport

Model history

VSETT was founded in 2020 by a team with roots in the earlier Zero scooter lineage, and the VSETT 8 launched as one of the brand’s first commuter models, reviewed by English-language outlets from early 2021. It was positioned as a refined successor to the Zero 8, with reviewers noting improved suspension over the older Zero range. The dual-motor VSETT 8+ followed as a higher-output companion sharing the same compact frame.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Dual coil-spring suspension delivers a notably smooth ride for an 8.5-inch scooter
  • Pneumatic front tyre cushions road imperfections while the solid rear avoids flats
  • Wide handlebars give confident, stable handling
  • Electronic ABS and an NFC immobiliser are uncommon at this class
  • Foldable and relatively light at around 20kg for the base pack

Cons

  • Single 600W motor and modest torque make steep inclines a weak point
  • Rear drum brake offers less stopping bite than disc or hydraulic systems
  • No companion app; control is limited to the basic QS-S4 display
  • Stock lighting is considered insufficient for night riding by reviewers
  • On the 8+, the twin solid tyres reduce ride comfort despite the suspension

Verdict

The VSETT 8 is a comfort-focused compact commuter whose standout feature is its dual coil-spring suspension and balanced tyre setup, making longer urban rides pleasant. Its single 600W motor and rear drum brake mean it is best suited to flat-to-rolling city routes rather than steep terrain; riders who need more punch can step up to the dual-motor 8+ at the cost of some ride smoothness.
