Compare Australian VSETT APEX battery options, tyres, brakes, weight and payload. See what the catalogue covers and where the separate 10 LIGHT fits.
Start with the exact battery and your trip. The 8 APEX uses solid tyres; the 9 APEX adds pneumatic tyres and hydraulic brakes but has a lower published payload; the 36 kg 10 APEX is a heavy performance option. The separate 10 LIGHT is not yet in our catalogue. None is a ScootFinder tested winner.
The model name is only half the order. VSETT Australia's 8 APEX and 10 APEX listings each offer two batteries. A low headline price and the largest range claim can describe different versions. Match the battery on your quote, the selected seller option and the range conditions before comparing.
| Catalogue model | AU battery options | Published hardware | Buyer trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 APEX | 48 V 15.6 Ah or 48 V 19.2 Ah LG, removable | 28 kg; 130 kg payload; 8.5 inch solid tyres; front and rear disc brakes with electronic assist | The solid tyres remove pneumatic punctures from the decision. They do not establish ride comfort or grip. Confirm which battery the price includes. |
| 9 APEX | 48 V 19.2 Ah LG, removable | 30 kg; 120 kg payload; 8.5 x 3 inch pneumatic tyres; hydraulic disc brakes with electronic assist | Consider it for the tyre and brake hardware, accepting tyre-pressure checks and puncture maintenance. Its published payload is 10 kg lower than the 8 APEX; include luggage. |
| 10 APEX | 60 V 20.8 Ah or 60 V 25.6 Ah LG, removable | 36 kg; 130 kg payload; 10 x 3 inch pneumatic tyres; four-piston hydraulic disc brakes | The AU seller pairs up to 90 km with 20.8 Ah and up to 110 km with 25.6 Ah, both in single-motor mode. Those are supplier claims, not ScootFinder tests or dual-motor trip promises. |
These Australian supplier specifications were checked 18 October 2026. The catalogue below keeps its existing dated price and stock observations; it does not switch specifications when you select a battery on the seller's site. Its 10 APEX range reference is the 20.8 Ah version. A higher Ah figure at the same voltage describes more nominal capacity, not a guaranteed increase in distance.
The 9 APEX's up to 65 km claim is explicitly for single-motor mode. Do not rank the models by brochure range alone: ask which battery, motor mode, rider load and test conditions produced the number. None has a ScootFinder measured range result. A removable battery can help with charging access, but does not make a 28 to 36 kg chassis easy to carry; check battery removal, charging instructions and the actual lift before buying.
The 18 October 2026 Australian seller observation is $2,294 AUD for the 48 V 19.2 Ah LG option, SKU VSETT-9-APEX-19.2LG. The seller reported it available and showed $2,699 as the regular price. This is a dated listing observation, not a reserved unit or delivered quote. Read the exact 9 APEX battery offer.
Free-delivery exclusions include WA, NT and remote areas; e-scooters are excluded from express shipping and the FAQ excludes PO boxes. Dispatch statements differ across the seller's pages. Check the detailed delivery policy. A warranty claim route is published, but model-specific duration and component coverage remain unverified.
The Australian distributor also lists a separate 10 LIGHT, with 52 V 14.5 Ah and 17.5 Ah LG options. It is not the 10 APEX: its published weight is 29.5 kg, with 10 inch pneumatic tyres and hydraulic brakes. ScootFinder has not added it to the model catalogue, ranking or Compare. This shortlist covers the three recorded APEX models, not every VSETT currently offered in Australia.
For public riding, use the exact-model state checker. A seller's capped-speed label alone does not settle device eligibility. For route, budget and carrying needs across brands, use the Scooter Finder.
These are published specifications, not a ride, braking, carrying or battery-removal test. Check the exact delivered variant, included charger, parts support and current delivered price with the seller.
This shortlist covers the three recorded APEX models. It is not the full Australian VSETT range; older models remain separate owner references.

PerformanceNewRange estimates are ScootFinder estimates unless a tested result is explicitly labelled. Claimed range is the manufacturer's published best-case figure.
| Model | Dated price, AUD | Range, Estimated | Range, Claimed | Weight | Payload | Top speed | Legal class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VSETT 8 APEX | $2,199 | 42 km | 60 km | 28 kg | 130 kg | 44 km/h | 25 km/h capable |
| VSETT 9 APEX | $2,294 | 45 km | 65 km | 30 kg | 120 kg | 44 km/h | 25 km/h capable |
| VSETT 10 APEX | $4,599 | 63 km | 90 km | 36 kg | 130 kg | 80 km/h | Private land |
Current APEX models are compared using VSETT Scooters Australia's product listings. Range figures remain manufacturer claims and ScootFinder planning estimates rather than independent road tests.
A 25 km/h-capable label is a speed feature, not public-use approval. Device weight, dimensions, wheelbase, maximum power and Australian configuration can change the result. It does not override where, how fast or by whom it may be ridden. Check the current official rule for your jurisdiction before buying or riding.
The 9 APEX adds pneumatic tyres and hydraulic brakes, but weighs 30 kg and has a 120 kg published payload. Compare your route, carrying needs and exact-model state eligibility before choosing. Its 45 km catalogue planning estimate is not a physical test.
The Australian catalogue now centres on the 8 APEX, 9 APEX and 10 APEX. Older pages remain useful for existing owners but are excluded from the current buying shortlist.
The 8 and 9 APEX can be supplied with a 25 km/h limit, but public use remains state dependent. The 10 APEX is treated here as a private-land performance device.
