The VSETT 8 APEX is a 28 kg dual-motor scooter with removable 48 V battery options, Spring-R suspension and solid 8.5 inch tyres. It ships capped at 25 km/h and can reach about 44 km/h when uncapped for private property.

ScootFinder verdict

Is the VSETT 8 APEX worth considering?

Its strongest practical feature is the removable battery, particularly for apartment charging. The solid tyres reduce puncture worry but also give up some ride compliance, and its power and uncapped speed still demand careful legal use.

About the range figure

VSETT publishes up to 60 km in dual-motor use and up to 80 km in single-motor use depending on battery. ScootFinder uses 42 km for the base mixed-use catalogue estimate.

Should you buy it?

Best suited to

Commuters wanting dual motor traction and Spring-R suspension from Vsett's exclusive AU distributor, with a factory 25 km/h legal cap.

Standout strength

Dual motor performance and adjustable-feel Spring-R suspension at Vsett's entry APEX price point.

Main compromise

Solid rather than pneumatic tyres trade some ride comfort for puncture resistance, and battery Wh is not published.

Pros

  • Removable battery options
  • Dual-motor traction
  • Front and rear Spring-R suspension
  • Solid tyres avoid tube punctures

Cons

  • Heavy at 28 kg
  • Solid tyres trade away ride comfort
  • Battery variant changes price and range

Check before buying. The 44 km/h uncapped speed is for private use only; confirm your state rules and current stock with vsett.com.au.

VSETT 8 APEX: questions buyers ask

Is the VSETT 8 APEX legal in Australia?

No public-riding approval is confirmed from the required catalogue evidence. Eligibility remains unconfirmed in Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. An app speed mode alone is not approval. WA device eligibility is not confirmed by speed alone; weight, dimensions and configuration matter. NSW personal e-scooters remain private-property only; NT has a separate maximum 200 W / 10 km/h definition. Rider age, equipment, licence and route conditions still apply.

Can I ride the VSETT 8 APEX in Queensland?

QLD maximum capability exceeds 25 km/h. The transition through 28 February 2027 requires manufacture before 1 July 2026 and former compliance; neither a model year nor an app setting proves it. Confirm the exact unit; do not ride on this result. General rule: age 16+ and a valid learner-or-higher driver licence. Specified exceptions cover supervised riders aged 12 to 17 (including unlicensed 16 and 17 year olds), eligible medical exemptions for riders 16+, and designated recreational areas. Supervision and exemption conditions still apply. A transitional reasonable-excuse provision for the licence requirement runs through 29 November 2026; it is not a blanket licence exemption. The current PMD definition includes motor-only capability no more than 25 km/h. Through 28 February 2027, a transition covers devices manufactured before 1 July 2026 that met the former definition. A model year or app mode does not establish this exception; we do not presume it for unverified units. 12 km/h on footpaths and crossings, and when passing pedestrians on shared paths. Otherwise obey signed path limits up to 25 km/h. Roads up to 60 km/h and specified bicycle-lane exceptions; check signs and the route.

Can I ride the VSETT 8 APEX in NSW?

Personal e-scooters remain illegal on NSW roads and road-related areas, including footpaths, shared paths and bicycle lanes. Use a personal e-scooter on private property only. Shared hire trials have separate approved areas and rules.

How far does the VSETT 8 APEX really go?

The claimed range is 60 km, measured by the maker in ideal conditions. ScootFinder estimates about 42 km for mixed everyday riding. That is an estimate, not a test result. Hills, rider weight, cold weather and riding at top speed all cut range, so plan with some battery in reserve.

How much does the VSETT 8 APEX weigh?

It weighs 28 kg. The maximum rider weight is 130 kg. It folds for carrying and storage.

How much is the VSETT 8 APEX in Australia?

$2,199 at the last check. Verified on vsett.com.au on 4 October 2026. The base 48V 15.6Ah battery at $2,199 was sold out; the 19.2Ah LG battery variant at $2,299 was in stock.

Is the VSETT 8 APEX waterproof?

It has an IP54 rating, which means it resists splashes from any direction, such as light rain. No e-scooter is truly waterproof, so avoid deep puddles and do not wash it with a hose.
