The VSETT 9 APEX is the middle model in the current Australian APEX range. It combines dual motors, front and rear Spring-R suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, 8.5 inch pneumatic tyres and a removable 48 V 19.2 Ah battery in a 30 kg frame.

ScootFinder verdict

Is the VSETT 9 APEX worth considering?

It is the balanced APEX choice for buyers who want more ride comfort and braking hardware than the solid-tyre 8 APEX without moving to the private-land focus of the 10 APEX. Its weight and variant-specific range still need careful consideration.

About the range figure

VSETT publishes up to 65 km under favourable riding conditions. ScootFinder uses 45 km for planning; this is not an independent range-test result.

Should you buy it?

Best suited to

Buyers wanting pneumatic tyres, hydraulic disc brakes and a removable battery, who can manage a 30 kg scooter and verify exact-unit state eligibility.

Standout strength

Hydraulic disc brakes and pneumatic tyres over the entry 8 APEX, with strong single-motor claimed range.

Main compromise

The 65 km claimed range applies to single-motor eco riding; battery Wh is not separately published.

Pros

  • Pneumatic tyres and suspension at both ends
  • Hydraulic disc braking with electronic assist
  • Removable battery platform
  • Seller lists 25 km/h capped and 44 km/h uncapped private-use settings

Cons

  • Heavy for commuting at 30 kg
  • The 65 km claim applies to favourable single-motor eco riding
  • Smaller tyres than many similarly priced scooters

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 9 APEX: questions buyers ask

Is the VSETT 9 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 9 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 9 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 9 APEX really go?

The claimed range is 65 km, measured by the maker in ideal conditions. ScootFinder estimates about 45 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 9 APEX weigh?

It weighs 30 kg. The maximum rider weight is 120 kg. It folds for carrying and storage.

How much is the VSETT 9 APEX in Australia?

$2,294 at the last check. Australian seller observation, 18 October 2026: $2,294 AUD for the 48 V 19.2 Ah LG variant, with $2,699 shown as the regular price. Seller reported available; delivered price and postcode eligibility remain unverified.

Is the VSETT 9 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.
